Dauderi collection
The Dauderi Collection includes around 5,000 objects acquired in the 1990s. They mainly describe the history, culture, art and daily life of the independent Republic of Latvia in the 1920s-30s, as well as the creative endeavours of Latvian exiled intellectuals in the West.
The collection’s most valuable items are related to the President and Prime Minister Kārlis Ulmanis. The works and personal belongings of such artists as Niklāvs Strunke, Miervaldis Ķemers, Sigurds Kalniņš, etc. are well represented.
