One of the 21st century’s most ambitious cultural projects in Eastern Europe, the DAUGAVPILS ROTKO MUSEUM, is a multifunctional hub for contemporary art, culture and education. Located in the historic artillery arsenal building of the Daugavpils Fortress, it offers more than 2500 square metres of space for permanent and temporary displays. The centre hosts international symposia for artists, gives creative workshops and master classes, and organises art education programmes for children and youth. It offers accommodation, seminar and conference rooms, and a chamber hall with a grand piano. A souvenir shop and a café are also located on the premises. In 2022, right next to the Rothko Centre, a new long-awaited art and culture space called Martinson’s House was opened to the public. Besides a permanent display, “The City of Dreams”, featuring original works by the great ceramicist Pēteris Martinsons, visitors can enjoy temporary exhibitions and an open-storage ceramics collection.
