Since the weather in Latvia in winter may be quite nasty with drizzle and wind, if you decide on traveling there anyway, you should plan on visiting the places indoors mostly. So the next post is going to be about the Art Nouveau Museum.
Riga is subject to a thorough study by Art Nouveau lovers. Its centre is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage for the amount and quality of Art Nouveau architecture. About 40 % of all the buildings in the historical centre of Riga are in Art Nouveau style.
When the style was being developed, Riga experienced a considerable inflow of educated professionals from abroad who were partially Latvians returning from their studies and partially rich businessmen from Russia. This is why lots of Riga's "exhibits" were designed by Latvian architects.
Influenced by the style architects translated their hope for more harmony between urban sprawl with its stress and lost sense of life's order and the harmony of natural forms, intricate, opulent and inspiring.
Alberta street, the one in which the Art Nouveau Museum is situated, is one of the finest examples of Riga's Art Nouveau.
