This is actually an old apartment, which has been turned into a small museum. The area is worth seeing as well since there are many Art Nouveau buildings. Lonely Planet suggested tour is succinct but the Tourism Office provides an excellent brochure about Art Nouveau in Riga. The building, where the museum is is an outstanding place in itself. The...

A very nice small museum furnished as a 1900-1920's apartment with all the art nouveau artifacts. The texts in every room that explain what you see and where it comes from were very useful and interesting. If that time and that style interests you, this is the museum to visit!

Away from the bustle of the centre itself, but closeby. Walking in the area, and then visiting this cozy museum, should provide the best possible couple of hours in Riga...

Although entrance is price, you will get great overview of art nouveau lifestyle in everyday life. Not only the buildings, but furniture, tableware, all small items show you the trends of early XX century.

Sweet visit back in time at the Musee Art Nouveau. Rather small museum, though very well kept. We also had a guided tour which made the visit more interesting! Also, make sure to visit with a hat on, compliments of the museum!

The museum is basically a small apartment that maintains the charm of the Art Nouveau period, providing a glimpse into the life of a small family in the city that was living well. They also have some outfits from the period that you can get your picture taken in, but the tour is the real reason to visit. Probably about... More
