Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art, Riga, Latvia
Located in the capital, Riga, the Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art will be the first purpose-built centre for the combined collection of contemporary art in the nation, and the first new museum commissioned since independence.
The new building, which will encompass around 8,000m2 of GIA, will become the centrepiece of New Hanza City – an emerging development on the edge of the Art Nouveau district, and within walking distance of many of Riga’s major cultural institutions. It will contain a variety of spaces for exhibitions, education, public engagement and events.
