Latvian Academy of the Sciences





























I hope "maybe" means something else in Latvian, because if it means the same thing...

Riga's Academy of the Sciences was built between 1951 and 1961, and bears a resemblance to many others built in Soviet times in the Stalinist or Socialist Classicism style.  It reminded us of the "Seven Sisters" in Moscow.  The 17th floor is open to the public as an open air viewing platform.  The day was clear and we had a splendid view of Riga.
