Art Nouveau Museum
One of Riga's newest museums is the Riga Art Nouveau Center. After a careful investigation of the property, the apartment's interiors were faithfully reconstructed to reflect those of 1903 so that guests may experience Art Nouveau in all of its glory, from home design to the smallest details like door and window knobs. At the turn of the 20th century, Konstantins Peksens, one of the leading figures in Riga's Art Nouveau movement, created and resided in this structure, now known as the Riga Art Nouveau Centre, on Albert Street.
Look for the unusual designs on the Riga Art Nouveau Museum that were inspired by the surrounding animals, such as pine cones, needles, and squirrels. With captivating ceiling paintings created by Latvia's foremost painter of the time, Janis Rozentls, the spiral stairway is a joy. You can enter the apartment through the plush drawing room, which is adorned with flowery designs, and the dining room, which is paneled with wood. The kitchen is the greatest place to view the exquisite furnishings with flowing lines, delicate stained glass windows, and lovely tile work.
Visitors can view the restored wall and ceiling paintings, stained glass windows, kitchen tile flooring, oaken wall panels, furniture, paintings and other artwork, apparel, and actual things from the time period. The Riga Art Nouveau museum also conducts themed exhibitions and engaging educational activities for both adults and kids in addition to the permanent show.
