PAVILLON DU
COLLECTIONNEUR
PRIVATE MUSEUM
Pavillon du Collectionneur is an independent European private museum dedicated to the research, restoration, and presentation of a diverse collection representing different areas of decorative and applied arts.
Established in Riga in 2015, the museum grew from a private family collection shaped over time by professional expertise, research, and long-term exhibition practice.
Pavillon du Collectionneur operates as a museum without walls, developing and presenting projects in collaboration with partner museums through research initiatives and curated exhibitions.
The collection can be seen only through current exhibitions hosted by partner museums and cultural institutions. Pavillon du Collectionneur does not operate a permanent exhibition space.
THE COLLECTION
The collection brings together European decorative arts and cultural artefacts, reflecting the aesthetic language and artistic heritage of their time.
Developed over four decades, the collection remains dynamic and continues to evolve.
The collection includes porcelain, glass, hand fans, paintings, photography, and selected works of fine and decorative art.
Each object is approached as a document of its period, offering insight into the aesthetic and cultural values of its time.
