Art Nouveau Museum
About

Housed in a beautifully restored 1903 apartment on Alberta Street, the Art Nouveau Museum in Riga offers an immersive journey into the elegance of early 20th-century design. Once the home of renowned Latvian architect Konstantīns Pēkšēns, the building itself is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture, co-designed with Eižens Laube. Inside, visitors are transported to a bygone era through meticulously recreated interiors featuring original wall paintings, stained glass, ornate ceilings, and period furnishings. The museum captures the spirit of the time with displays of clothing, tableware, and decorative arts, while a modern digital exhibition explores the broader context of Riga’s Art Nouveau heritage. Highlights include the grand spiral staircase and themed rooms such as the drawing room, dining room, and fireplace lounge, each reflecting the lifestyle and aesthetics of the era. As the only museum of its kind in the Baltics, it offers a rare and authentic glimpse into one of Europe’s most expressive artistic movements.
