Occupying a historic merchant's house from 1500, this little museum displays early images from Rīga along with changing exhibitions of contemporary photography. There's also a camera obscura and an interesting display on local lad Valters Caps (1905–2003), the inventor of the miniature Minox camera so beloved by Cold War spies.
