The Museum's mission is to be aware of, collect and preserve, research, make available and popularise among the broadest sections of society, Baltic and Latvian art treasures from the 18th century to today; to provide evidence of the development of culture and art in Latvia through its historical and artistic expressions, the formation and manifestations of a national school in the context of world cultural history and contemporary processes, and of a national identity.
Originated from a small fishermen village, for centuries Riga has been an important part of the trade chain between Russia and Western Europe. A lively crossroad of cultures and backgrounds for over 800 years, the historical centre of Riga has accumulated an impressive cultural baggage and today is justly included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage list.
