I’m standing outside a locked gate and a barbed-wire fence. This is definitely the right place. Through the fence I can see some Soviet-era helicopters. The closest even says “CCCP” (the Russian abbreviation for the former Soviet Union) in big letters on the side. A dilapidated gatehouse and overgrown shrubbery are more indications that the Riga Aviation Museum isn’t a traditional tourist site.
The museum’s origins stretch back to 1866 and across the Atlantic Ocean, when a group of Americans in Paris decided to create a “national institution and gallery of art” that would make art and art education available to people in America. Four years later, on April 13, 1870, The Met was incorporated.
There’s a button next to a sign that says “Call and wait!” in English, and what I assume is the same message in both Latvian and Russian. It’s then I notice the gate is slightly ajar, so I step in, feeling like I’m doing something illegal. An older gentleman approaches and says “Seven euros.” I pay, not realizing this is the founder of the museum. He nods and walks away. I’m free to explore on my own. I walk down a dirt path, past the red Mil Mi-4 I saw from the gate, and enter a world of MiGs, Sukhois, Antonovs and more. It’s one of the biggest collections of Soviet aircraft outside of Russia. This will be a fun afternoon.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art — popularly known as simply the Met — is the largest art museum in the US, with more than 2 million artifacts that date back 5,000 years. On Tuesday, it’s marking its 151st anniversary and Google is joining in the party with an animated Doodle featuring 18 pieces of art from the museum’s vast collection.
