Eduards Smiļģis Theater Museum

No museum only. Place for theatrical events and performances. Actors, students and other creative persons welcome.

The Eduards Smilgis Theater Museum (Eduarda Smilga Teatra Muzejs) occupies the house of the distinguished director, the founder of the "Dailes (Art) Theater", Eduards Smilgis (1886-1966), in Pardaugava part of Riga.

The building was especially designed for Smilgis in the 1920s and reflects his original, striking and contradictory personality. The museum was opened in 1976. The most interesting rooms are the small hall with a stage and Smilgis' study.

The exhibition traces the development of professional theater in Latvia.

Good place to learn more about history of Latvian theater.

It's a shame I hadn't been there before. Definitely worth visiting either there is a special event or not. Exposition modern and exciting.

More history than I thought and a personal tour, very cheap.

Interesting expositions, great place for events!

Strange museum in very nice neighbourhood

Great opportunity to find out about latvian theatre.
