The Andrejsala-based Latvian Museum of Naïve Art will start its fifth season on May 15 by launching an exibition of works by 'Mitki', a group of Russian artists, and a solo exhibition of paintings by the notable Latvian naïvist Filips Šalajevs.

Andrejsala is best explored on foot, as this would help you notice the sizeable territory's various historic and industrial artefacts: the early-1900s streetlights in the North End, port facilities, cranes and the decommissioned power station, later known as TEC or 'thermal power plant' and still housing its massive electricity generating equipment, now part of the heritage. Another congruent object of the local landscape is the Power Generation Museum with its abundant collection of information concerning the history of electricity usage in Latvia.

On 30 November, 2006, during the celebration of the name day of Andrejsala, Astrīda Rogule, the head of the holding formation department of the Contemporary Art Museum, informed guests of the plans to build and organise the museum in the former building of the Thermal Power Plant on Andrejsala.
