The architect that had to design the bourse was Harald Julius von Bosse, a Baltic German noble who worked in Saint-Petersburg.

His missions were to settle the bourse in the Old Town and also "to adapt to the irregular layout of the blocks, the narrow streets and the dense arrangement of buildings.".

For the façade of the Bourse, it was decided to use a terracotta décor, sculptures with allegorical content and decorative elements.

Then, on 26 May 1856, the Riga Stock Exchange was ceremoniously opened in the presence of the Russian tsar Alexander II.

After the World War II, Latvia became part of the Soviet Union and the building became the House of Science and Technology Propaganda.

He was a Baltic German doctor and traveler and bought many oriental objects in order to make a Kunstkammer or art cabinet.

Then, Domenico de' Robbiani (1793–1889), an Italian merchant settled in Riga, gave his collection of paintings that gathered artworks from the Netherlands, Germany or France.
