The museum could update the Google ad which announces that the museum is open in February 2023. This would save people from having to travel and break their noses.

Small museum perched on a Provençal peak. Former residence of Edgar Melik, it hosts 2 temporary exhibitions a year. Coming soon, from June 29 to November 9, Madeleine Dines, "Chants Terrestres". Nice detour to make on the side of Cabries.

Very pleasant museum, in a pleasant setting, a warm welcome, we had the right to a complete visit with explanations of the exhibition of Monsieur de Asis, a somewhat special painter, but as we say, everyone has their own tastes and colors. , that's all to say that I highly recommend this museum!

House of Blackheads

House of the Blackheads (Melngalvju nams) is a building situated in the old town of Riga. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornaments.

The structure was bombed to a ruin by the Germans June 28, 1941 and the remains demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999. Today the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.
