The station building offers a great space with lots of light, but the exhibitions they hold are absolutely terrible. They pick disturbing images from unknown modern artists that are hardly appropriate for a public space where people come with kids. The current exhibition with broken dolls is particularly unpleasant. I really think they should rethink what to display in a public space.
A train station that hosts artistic exhibitions! A phenomenal artistic space, in a train station, this is an inspiring and brilliant gallery space within a very stylish station, that is functional and serves the wonderful beach nearby. Frequent trains connect to Riga. The space is on two levels and this installation had an interactive element.
Nice art gallery right on the station. It was showing an exhibition of photos when I visited. Free entry, toilets, space to sit and stare. You can even buy a train ticket at the desk in the foyer.
Easy to buy tickets to Riga. Free toilets.
This was my favourite place to visit during my time in Latvia. The current exhibition was created by an art collective with additions by members of the public, essentially anyone can contribute. I was confused somewhat by the fact that there is still a ticket office at the front, and public toilets at the back, but in-between there is chaotic art. I like it.
