The Embassy of Greece in Riga had the honour of supporting the opening of ALWAYS THE SUN, an exhibition that brings the intensity, luminosity, and spirit of the Greek sun into dialogue with Riga’s contemporary art scene.
At the heart of the exhibition is the sun, not as a motif to be depicted, but as a way of thinking, seeing, and experiencing.
It explores how the intensity, luminosity, and particular qualities of Greek light have shaped aesthetic languages, perceptions, and ways of engaging with the world.
Greece’s total bilateral and multilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA) reached USD 357.81 million in 2025, equivalent to 0.13% of Gross National Income (GNI).

At the European Museum Academy Awards ceremony in Alicante, Spain, the Academy honored Angeliki Giannakidou, founder and President of the Ethnological Museum of Thrace, with the Longlife Achievement Award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the preservation, documentation and promotion of the history and traditions of Thrace.
This marks the second European recognition for the Museum. In 2025, the Ethnological Museum of Thrace received a Special Distinction at the DASA Awards of the European Museum Academy for its innovative approach to museum education.
💬 As Angeliki Giannakidou said:
“The entire team of the Ethnological Museum of Thrace and I personally are deeply moved by this award. This second European recognition confirms the philosophy that guides our work: that museums belong to society.”

Εκτός από το Εθνικό Μουσείο Σύγχρονης Τέχνης (ΕΜΣΤ), που κέρδισε το Ευρωπαϊκό Βραβείο Μουσείων 2026 (European Art Museum Award), η Ευρωπαϊκή Ακαδημία Μουσείων τίμησε με το βραβείο συνολικής προσφοράς (Longlife Achievement) την Ελληνίδα ερευνήτρια, ιδρύτρια και πρόεδρο του Εθνολογικού Μουσείου Θράκης, Αγγελική Γιαννακίδου.
