Jelgava Museum of History and Art
The greatest value among the exhibits of the museum is the collection of works by the master of Latvian painting Gedert Elias (1887-1975). The museum offers expositions and exhibitions, educational programs and all kinds of excursions for different age groups.
The historical information prepared by specialists provides an opportunity to look into the past, thanks to new virtual expositions with 3D glasses that allow you to "see" Jelgava in various historical epochs.
