RENOVATION AND EXTENSION OF LATVIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ART

Embracing the landmark

Since its construction in 1905, the original building of the Riga City Art Museum has been an important landmark located within Riga’s ring of boulevards. The extension, restoration and reconstruction of the Latvian National Museum of Art in 2015 has added a number of new qualities to this public space, including storage space for artworks, restoration studios and the complex technical infrastructure of the new underground area.
