Latvian Museum of Photography is Latvia’s only museum dedicated to creative outputs in this field. The museum is located in a historical 16th-century building that used to belong to a merchant. Its permanent display informs about historical developments in the field of photography in Latvia and beyond. Here, visitors can see several Daguerreotypes, ferrotypes and ambrotypes, stereoscopic images, photographic equipment and photographs taken between the late 19th century and mid-20th century, including the famous VEF Minox camera, as well as a vast collection of works by Latvian photographers. The museum’s mission is to disseminate the achievements of the photographic industry and to remain a place involved in preservation and representation of photography, and a source of inspiration for photographers.
