The building at 1, Janis Rozentāls sq. was designed by the German architect Wilhelm Neumann and built in 1905[1] — it is one of the most impressive historical buildings on the boulevard and is situated next to the Academy of Art. It was the first building in the Baltics to be built for the purposes of a museum. Between 2010 and 2015 museum underwent a reconstruction, during which the total size of the building was doubled.
