National Art Museum
reviewed by Juan
from Spain
on Oct.16.2009

"Really nice collection of XIX century vanguards. They have movements represented such as impressionism or cubism but from the Russian/Latvian perspective. Authors are not as well known as the French ones so paintings are still impressive. It well worths a 45 min visit. The building is also impressive. I wouldn't go party with guides eider, but felt that they where willing to help."

"I went to a concert here 2 years ago in August. This was where my grandfather conducted his choir before the second world war. I understand that there are concerts now in his name now. Knowing I am apart of this history was very moving. "

"Dear Sir, I would like to have your (and possibly other theatres'?)program for the week 17th to 23rd October 2008. I may be going to Jürmala at that time, and I have a friend who is particularly interested in ballet - but we also enjoy concerts and theatre. I do hope that this column can also be used for such a purpose. Hoping to hear from you soon I remain Yours truly Eva smith-Meyer"
