Good place to learn more about history of Latvian theater. Great opportunity to find out about latvian theatre. Большая коллекция, 3 этажа. Вход 3€. 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. We really enjoyed this museum and learning more about Latvian theater. The museum staffperson was very kind and helpful. While the exhibition was not in English, but we did fine using Google translate on our phones. 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. Interesting expositions, great place for events! More history than I thought and a personal tour, very cheap. Strange museum in very nice neighbourhood Nice garden, fountain empty? Tur pazūd laiks! Ja vēl gadās dzirdēt teātra vēsturnieka Jāņa Siliņa stāstīto, laika plānošana arī kļūst par vēsturi.... 😊 lots of interestin information about latvias history, aswell as lots of beautiful art. Beautiful grounds and mansion, excellent layout, and terrific displays of Latvian theatre history. Just note that most of the exhibits are in Latvian, but the staff is very friendly and pleasant. The new puppet exhibit is great. No museum only. Place for theatrical events and performances. Actors, students and other creative persons welcome. Invalīdiem apmeklējums bez maksas.Studentiem biļete maksā tikai 1,50€ Lieliska vieta un atmosfēra. Pārāk maz vietas apmeklētājiem. Ļoti patika tikšanās ar Indru Burkovska . Paldies Siliņa k-gam par šo tikšanos. Paša Siliņa kunga stāsts par sevi un savām gaitām arī būtu ļoti vēlams un interesants. Patīkams muzejs ar pievelkošu atmosfēru.
