ZUZEUM ART CENTRE IS THE HOME OF THE ZUZĀNS COLLECTION, THE LARGEST PRIVATE COLLECTION OF LATVIAN ART IN THE WORLD.
Zuzeum Art Centre is a place where audiences can encounter and engage with contemporary Latvian and international art. It was founded in 2017 by the art collector and philanthropist Jānis Zuzāns.
Located in the historical center of Riga, Zuzeum is the largest private collection of Latvian art in the world, comprising almost 30,000 objects. The Zuzāns Collection initially focused on Latvian art and is the most extensive such private collection in the world. Over time, the acquisition of international contemporary art became the primary means of expanding the Collection
Zuzeum’s program is also reflected in its regional and national partnerships for sharing collections and programs and engaging new audiences.
Zuzeum is housed in a former cork factory designed and built in 1910 by architect and engineer Edmund von Trompowsky and has over 1,100 square meters of space. It is a place for cultural exchange, offering exhibitions and public events, a studio for artists, art storage, a public zone with a meeting and working space, a cafe, and a shop.
