The museum is preparing for the opening of the Riga Castle premises at the end of October

In autumn of 2024, the museum will begin to inhabit the Riga Castle, where it was housed in 1920. However, the museum will have only one part of the restored premises of the Riga Castle – about one third of the total planned area of the museum’s premises – as the rest of the premises are currently not planned to be repaired. Thus, the museum will be able to show the wealth of its collection to visitors in a much more limited amount than it would like.

Until the end of 2024, in the renovated premises of the Riga Castle, the museum will first offer to explore the renovated premises, as well as a separate program of events for different audiences, but on 11 and 18 November, as well as during Christmas, larger events are planned. The public will be informed about these plans in more detail in autumn, when the museum’s brand developed by SIA KID Design and the new communication tools – the new website, application, etc. – will be presented.

At the same time, in the course of 2024, the museum together with SIA DJA, the winner of the exhibition design contest, will complete the technical design of the new Riga Castle exhibitions, and from the beginning of 2025 it is planned to ellaborate and set up the new exhibition equipment.

The museum plans to start full-fledged work in the Riga Castle in the second half of 2025 with three new, modern permanent expositions “Castles of Livonia”, “Sacral Art”, “History of the Riga Castle” and the opening exhibition “Streaming the Time”. A new era will begin, in which the National History Museum of Latvia will be able to continue its work in a significantly higher quality and more modern environment.

Meanwhile, the visitors are welcomed to visit the Popular Front Museum and the Dauderi or to explore the virtual eMuseum.
