Makslas muzejs ‘Rigas birza’

The lavishly illustrated article introduces the newly restored building of the former Riga Bourse, transformed into a museum of foreign art and opened in August 2011. Collections of the Art Museum ‘Riga Bourse’ are based on the private gatherings of several 19th century art collectors, and their display in the magnificent Venetian-style building is mapped in the publication. Expositions include Italian, Flemish, Dutch, German and French painting, several pieces of sculpture, a rich collection of porcelain, silver items, artefacts from China, Japan, India and Egypt.
