The origins of the museum’s collection date back to the documentary heritage collecting initiated by the Riga Latvian Society and to 1925, when teacher Jānis Greste began the systematic collection of materials related to literature and music. Over time, the museums collection has developed into a nationally significant heritage of Latvian literature, theatre, and music history. The core fields are complemented by culturally and historically significant objects from art and other fields related to these primary areas.
