The spirit of the world in silver. Live Silver Museum in Riga showcases majestic large-scale silver works of art, and one can see the place where these masterpieces are created. The museum invites you to see the world’s largest silver castle made by silversmith Olegs Auzers, where the major world religions coexist. The master’s work speaks about a world where devotion and altruism coexist with envy and greed, where love mingles with hate and where life wins over death. For museum guests, we offer you to look at beautiful large-format silver artworks as well as ornate sheaths. It also offers lectures about silver in improving health and the opportunity to taste silver water.
Not a big place but it worths seeing! Very detailed works bearing deep thoughts. Go and see, this museum is the place you shouldn't miss.
