The exhibit was well curated, and I ended up wandering around longer than I had anticipated. It's also just an enjoyable space to spend time in. I did not have much interaction with the staff, but they seemed friendly (by the admittedly introverted Latvian standards). Like some other reviewers noted, this gallery does not provide descriptions of the artwork. Instead, more focus seems to be placed on arranging the pieces in a compelling way. This approach may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. However, I wish they made it easier to look up the pieces on their webpage.

Visited in April 2023 while a porcelain collection of factories from all across Latvia was on display. The level of detail and artistry in these works is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and expertise of the artists who created them. The museum is located next to Riga Porcelain Factory, that is one of the oldest factories in Latvia. Riga Porcelain Factory has been known for its exquisite tableware, figurines, and decorative objects, and its products have been highly sought after both in Latvia and internationally. Could also see porcelain figurines from Kuznetsov Porcelain Factory or Ludza Porcelain Factory. Latvian porcelain is known for its fine craftsmanship, attention to detail, and artistic flair, and the porcelain items produced by these factories are highly regarded for their quality and beauty. Was great to admire and learn more but in the same time 10 EUR entrance fee for only one room museum is overpriced unless you are a (while the Riga National Museum entry is 6 EUR).

Zuzeum is a privat exhibition hall founded by casinos and gaming halls proprietor and art collector named Zuzāns. They have regularly changing exhibitions curated by local arts professionals. Previous one was a porcelain of Kuznetsov brand, active throughout imperial Russia including Riga. Currently (sept-oct 2023) there's a curious selection of artworks by contemporary Latvian and some abroad artists under the name " Field of vision" or something like that. Nice interior, coffee shop and book counter.

Это частный музей современного искусства, созданный известным латвийским предпринимателем, владельцем сети залов игровых автоматов Янисом Зузансом - отсюда и название «Zuzeum». Вход стоит 5 евро, билеты можно купить заранее на сайте музея. Сейчас, в марте 2022 года, в музее проходит выставка “Весна 22”. На выставке представлены произведения искусства латвийских мастеров 20-21 века. Количество экспонатов разочаровывает - их немного, они выставлены в двух залах. В центральном выставочном зале возле каждого экспоната размещено его описание, с данными автора и датой создания. Во втором зале, что весьма странно и неудобно, на входе размещен перечень всех авторов с названиями произведений, но догадаться где что, не представляется возможным, можно было бы хотя бы присвоить экспонатам номера, но этого не сделано. Большей частью картины и прочие инсталляции достаточно странные, что, впрочем, характерно для современного искусства. Это явно не Эрмитаж или Лувр. Но достаточно интересно. На первом этаже размещено кафе, какие-то помещения для общения, магазин с предметами авторского дизайна. Посетителей очень мало, хотя это был вторник, может быть в выходные здесь народа побольше. Помещения светлые, свежие, радуют глаз. Надеюсь, что в будущем здесь будут представлены более интересные экспозиции, пока больше 3-х баллов поставить не могу - не за что…

Nothing to see here in August 2024. At the entrance, we were invited to an event at 7 pm, but I wish we had been advised to wait until then. We then spent 15 minutes exploring a space where they seemingly scraped the bottom of the barrel and created an exhibition out of useless junk. There was nothing interesting or eye-catching. I can compare this to my visit in February when there was an excellent exhibition.

I had a great time at the Kuzņecova Porcelāns exhibition, which had fascinating exhibits. The café was a nice place to relax and I enjoyed their delicious cappuccinos and banana cake. For the admission fee, I paid 10 EUR as an adult, and the total for two cappuccinos and two slices of cake was 12 EUR. It was definitely worth the visit and I recommend checking it out.
