Museums of Latvia University

Year 2018, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 27 - 30, 01.07.2018

Abstract

Latvia University Museums serve to increase the value of cultural heritage. Original Greek and Roman works of
art and Latvian art treasures enriched the importance and value of this cultural heritage. Riga Polytechnic Institute
was transformed into Latvia University and collections from this period were gathered together. After unremitting
organizational work, in 1990 a united University of Latvia museum was formed comprising 6 branches: UL Museum
of History, Museum of Zoology, Museum of Geology, Museum of Computing and Informatics, Museum of
Botany and Museum of Pedagogy. After some years new museums were added: Memorial Museum of Friedrich
Zander (Museum of Space Research) and Museum of Human Pathology, and a partnership was formed with the
Latvian Museum of History of Chemistry. Today, the UL Museum of History serves the purposes of education and
science, as well as popularizes the values of cultural history of the University of Latvia.
