art house

The building with the rich woodcarvings on its façade, gorgeously decorated in eclectic style was built in the last quarter of the 19th century. It belonged to the merchant Vorobjovs, but very soon the building became the property of the city. Whilom it was used as teachers' institute as well as the school, the tuberculosis dispenser and the military registration office. Unfortunately, frequent change of owners almost totally destroyed the splendiferous inner arrangement. In the middle of the 1990s it was acquired by the Rezekne Art College. Due to the efforts of the students and the pedagogues, the Art House got back its initial outlook. In the Art House one can get acquainted with the exposition "Latgalian painting" from the reserves of the Latgale Culture History Museum.
