Zuzeum Riga

A new space for art in Riga

Dace from Riga

I live in Riga since 2015 and I like this city a lot. It's cozy, modern, stylish and comfortable at the same time. I work here, rest here, have fun, have indoor and outdoor events to attend and spend a good quality time. Riga offers variety of activities and events but still keeps it's special charm and atmosphere.
""Zuzeum Art Centre" in Riga is spread over three levels of a historical building with a nice shop/coffee place and a green oasis of a rooftop terrace!"

Nowadays, museums are no longer simply very formal place to go and “watch” art, historical artifacts, or memories. Museums are now increasingly open spaces for various kind of activities – not only for exhibitions but also lectures, presentations, workshops, meeting points and educational activities.

Zuzeum Art Centre is definitely one of those: recently re-opened, renovated by private donations of the Zuzāns family – the Zuzeum Art Centre is spread over three levels of a historical building in the complex, with 3000 m² of space dedicated to exhibitions and public programs.

Currently, there is the inaugural exhibition “We Aim to Live. Contemporary Art from the Zuzāns Collection” which invites you to feel and explore the new home of the arts and believe in the future. Visitors are encouraged to look at the works of contemporary painting, sculpture, and ceramics from the Zuzāns' family collection and find an action strategy for the evening to come, for tomorrow, for next year, next time.

There is also a shop to buy some artistic souvenirs and a coffee place to sit down afterwards, have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and discuss the impressions of the exhibition and venue as such.

Plus, the rooftop terrace of Zuzeum Art Centre is a green oasis in the middle of Riga! It's the perfect spot for sunset-watching and enjoying the urban city view and having relaxing talks.

Kūkotava

Cakes Galore

Honey Cake is my pet peeve and their cranberry one felt like the best I've had in ages, not to mention the sleek atmosphere in which I could enjoy it.

LIDO Ķirsons māja

A Culinary Duplex

There are a lot of things to love about Ķirsons māja, from its stylish architecture to the convenience it provides. One of my favorite aspects of this location is, however, the LIDO burgers.

Vērmanes Park

In the Heart of the City

And all of this thanks to Anna Vermane, who donated the park to the city for recreational use back in 1817 and whose monument you'll be able to find in the park's gardens

At the Kebab Factory the portions are massive, the food steamy hot, delicious, and the venue, albeit small, satisfyingly accommodating.
