Mākslas muzejs RĪGAS BIRŽA

Really beautiful building, I can walk through it even without any peace of art, because every square centimenter has a cool texture of an old stone or it's a beautiful carving. I recently went to temporarily exposition with a bunch of artists from Turkey. Art was good but I noticed that the light system in the hall was a bit outdated. It shimmered on camera, well for a art gallery thats not the best look

Visiting Mākslas muzejs RĪGAS BIRŽA was honestly a magical experience that left me completely enchanted. 😍 From the moment I stepped in, I felt this perfect mix of modern elegance and artistic history, like the walls themselves were whispering stories of creativity. The layout is thoughtful and inviting, making it easy to wander from one gallery to the next without ever feeling rushed. The lighting highlights each piece beautifully, bringing out details you might miss at first glance, and some artworks made me stop in awe for longer than I expected. 💛 What I loved most was how the museum balances iconic, well-known works with intriguing contemporary pieces. Every corner offers something surprising, and I found myself smiling and gasping in equal measure. The staff were kind and helpful, adding to the welcoming atmosphere, and the little touches — cozy seating areas, clear signage, and calm spaces to just sit and reflect — made the visit feel personal and immersive. 🎨✨ If you love art, whether classic or modern, this museum is an absolute must. I walked out feeling inspired, peaceful, and a little in love with Riga all over again. Truly, a 5-star experience that I’ll remember for a long time! 🥰💖

Varied and interesting art museum with art from Asia and Europe. We only saw the permanent collection as it costs more to see the temporary exhibitions.

What a collection they have. And a temporary exhibition from contemporary Turkish paintings. Love it!

The building of the Latvian Fine Arts Museum, located in Riga's old town, is not only an exhibition in itself, but also contains dozens of exhibits. Each season hosts different exhibitions, which are located on the first floor. For this reason, it is recommended to visit these interesting exhibitions every season. The museum has hundreds of paintings and fine arts by Latvian and international artists. The museum's permanent exhibition, like other fine arts museums in Latvia, is free to visit on the last Sunday of every month.

For SEVEN euros, this place is quite overrated. I was also seriously disappointed the unsmiling ticket agent refused to accept my press business card bc it wasn’t a “press pass” (my company DOESN’T DO THEM). I even offered to verify the card with my ID but she refused. Just ridiculous. For an expensive €7 I should be longer in a museum than 1 hour (if even that). It has gorgeous interiors, but middling, dark paintings (lots of boring landscapes and animal stills). There’s a lovely porcelain collection from Asia and an exhibit on Indian art which has some decent material. The Egyptian collection is one tiny room with a mummy and shabtis as well as amulets. The Greek/Roman room is broken pottery shards and a stash of coinage. Overall, too much money for this place. Should be no more than a fiver.

The museum features a variety of changing exhibitions, alongside a substantial permanent collection spread across three floors. The architecture complements the exhibits, offering a visually appealing environment. The space is thoughtfully designed, enhancing the overall experience of both temporary and ongoing displays.

A beautiful building and 3 floors of expositions, at a co siderably very low family ticket price. I would say it's a must see here in Riga. When visiting, there was also a lady playing a piano in the courtyard, throughout the whole time we were there. Sounds of it was emanatint through the museum, further enhancing the vibe)
