Play the Museum! is an interactive and educational game for children of elementary and primary school age in which every participant becomes a part of the museum. The activity was conceived with the aim of encouraging students' active involvement in learning about the museum's work through conversations seeking answers to the questions: what is an art museum, what can be found there, what are the tasks performed by the museum's employees?

Get to know the extensive permanent exhibition, the historical building and the current exhibitions of the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design! The guided tour uncovers stories from the history of Latvian design, a variety of artistic styles and the processes in design's development. The thematic highlights and format of the activity can be adapted to the needs and interests of different audiences.

The guided tour in the exhibition offers an insight into the formation of the Latvian National Art Museum's Collection of Casts, getting to know more deeply sculptures of ancient Greece, ancient Rome and Italian Renaissance and the specific periods of art.

Woodblock printing workshop is a practical activity aimed at getting to know the ancient textile printing technique and its widespread use in textile design under the guidance of a textile artist.

The museum and its exhibition is an exciting world full of noteworthy events and individuals! In this activity, school students will learn about different historical artistic processes in Latvia and the most important masterpieces, highlighting each period's most significant, most outstanding phenomena and artists as well as their innovations.

The museum's exhibition of classical art (19th century – mid-20th century) presents a variety of themes and diversity of artistic language which has changed over the course of time. Nevertheless, several basic categories have remained. This activity in the permanent exhibition will foster a better understanding of the basic principles that underpin the work of our old masters as well as modernists.
