Mākslas muzejs RĪGAS BIRŽA

The Art Museum Riga Bourse is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure of visiting this magnificent museum, and to my great luck, they were hosting a stunning exhibition of Spanish paintings during my visit. The collection was beautifully curated, showcasing the rich heritage and expressive power of Spanish art. If you’re in Riga, I highly recommend a visit to this museum. It offers a perfect blend of local and international art, leaving you inspired and enriched. A true cultural treasure!

The art museum with permanent and changing exhibitions displays a mix of European, American and Asian art. We visited in March 2024 and saw the Tōkaidō Road (works of Hiroshige), Suzani (embroidery) and the Southeast Asian Art Collection. It’s a stunning building and worth a visit. Sadly we were not able to find the museum shop (even after asking staff members).

Nice museum but only 2 floor of permanent collection, its a bit light, but the main problem was the staff, there was no one and we feel very uncomfortable, no hello, no smile, the asking us our tickets very straightly and a bit rude, there was almost no one inside and they should using that waiting time to think how to be polite and welcoming to the visitors. At least the lockers room girl was very friendly and smiling! thanks to her and his help.

A wonderful collection of the Dutch school of the 17th-18th centuries. There are several unique exhibits from the 15th-16th centuries by ancient Italians and Flemishs. But there is a huge minus - the poor placement (although all the building, huge windows and rooms are so beautiful in architecture way), completely ill-conceived lighting: sometimes you have to tilt you head up, because the lights blinds the canvas, sometimes the all paintings are in the shadows - hard to see anything!

The museum is quite big, so ideally you would need at least 2 hours to visit it properly. The painting area of the museum is nice, but not spectacular. A few paintings are really good though. The Asia area of the museum is amazing. The pieces of art from china are really nice, plus there is a small sector dedicated to ancient Egypt and Greece. Overall, I would suggest a visit to this museum.

Nice museum. The ticket is 3 euros and for that price it is worth visiting. The porcelain section is excellent and the gallery has fantastic pictures. The light inside is quite bright, so it's a little harder to see the details in some of the pictures. All in all, a solid museum.

Amazing museum! It was interesting for adults and teenagers. The collection of coins, paintings, the Egyptian mummy, Indian artifacts - it is only a part of this museum

A nice museum located in a charmingly historical building. Many art collections of other European countries, such ad Germany, Austria and Holland. The Asian art collections were less impressive, especially those gifts from embassies of some Asian countries. The museum is clean and is less crowded during this time of year (in February). The entrance fee was reasonable l, 3 euros per adult, which I thought was very affordable. Two minus stars because we didn’t see much of local Latvian artworks. Also, we felt that we were being watched all the time during our visit. We were beginning to feel uncomfortable at the end of the tour. Its staff are perhaps just doing their jobs and hardworking. But it would have been nicer if they could be a bit more discreet in watching visitors. We were here to appreciate your artworks, not here to damage or vandalise them. We are definitely not criminals. Also, the lightings were a bit too strong, and they could damage paintings over the time.
