Virtual exhibitions

In times when ordinary everyday life is full of various restrictions and there is a lack of enjoyable impressions outside the home walls, we would like to give our visitors the opportunity to see the art exhibitions displayed in the tower of Jelgava Saint Trinity Church “remotely”. It is an opportunity to see a specific displayed exhibition, even if you haven’t had a chance to visit us outside the time of restrictions.

 

The exhibition was on display in the Tower exhibition hall from 01.12.2020 to 31.07.2021

Admirers of the artist’s work are fond of staying in the world of bright colours of the painter, where harmony and kindness, unrestrained fantasy and joy of living reign.
