Latvian Film Museum (till May 2025 \u2014 Riga Film museum) is the only museum of its kind in Latvia. It holds various exhibitions that display different aspects of cinema art, actors and film history. The museum was founded in 1988, and currently the museum space is located in an 18th-century building located in Riga, Miera iela 58a.<\/p>\n
The idea to establish the Film Museum in Riga came about during the traditional cinema forum called \u201dKino Dienas\u201d (English: “Film Days”) in 1986. The leaders of this project were Augusts Sukuts, Inga P\u0113rkone-Redovi\u010da, and Juris Civjans. They managed to start a museum by getting a permission from the Soviet Union cinema organization.<\/p>\n
Throughout the years following Latvia\u2019s independence, the Riga Film Museum has been a part of different institutions. It was a part of the National Film Centre of Latvia until 2010 when it was turned over to the Latvian Academy of Culture, and the museum is still part of the latter.<\/p>\n
The Film Museum has relocated various times before settling to the current building in the Old Town. It was once in the rooms of \u201dRiga Video Centre\u201d, the \u201dLatvian State Archive of Audiovisual Documents\u201d, the \u201dRiga Film Studio\u201d and the former \u201dMuseum of Illegal Press\u201d on Kr\u0101slavas Street.<\/p>\n
The museum is noted for its personal attention to visitors and its cozy premises are a place for meetings, exchange of opinions, making new acquaintances and learning for everyone.<\/p>\n
On a regular basis the museum organizes mini exhibitions, lectures, events and movie screenings. It offers guided tours, lessons and creative workshops for both \u2013 film connoisseurs and those who only start to learn about film history.<\/p>\n
