The compact and cosy Riga Film Museum houses a labyrinthine exposition space, a miniature film theater room used for regular film screenings, and a cinematheque offering a plethora of significant Latvian and foreign films. Instead of a permanent exhibition the museum periodically curates unique shows – the current exhibit traces the childhood and dramatic later life and work of the Riga-born cinematic genius, world-acclaimed Russian film director and theoretician Sergei Eisenstein.

Gallery VKN was founded to promote the recognition of Latvian contemporary art and artists both in Latvia and abroad along with the popularization of foreign artists here in Latvia. It is located in the same block of houses as the upcoming pilot project „kim?“ of the Contemporary Art Museum of Latvia is, and it takes part in its events, jointly looking for the answer to the question „What is art?“

The idea and concept of Alma Gallery is built on stable foundations, acquired over many years of professional activity.
Through careful and reasoned selection, the gallery follows the principle of representing its own, limited circle of artists, who belong to the tradition of contemporary Latvian art; special and particular attention is devoted to our greatest masters of the early 20th century.
