Riga Art Nouveau district (Klusais centrs) hosts the exhibition Sentimental Values. Brants and Vorkale from 16 October to 6 December 2026 at the Riga Art Nouveau Centre in Riga, Latvia. The show brings together porcelain and fine art by Inese Brants and Irina Vorkale, with works inspired by Art Nouveau heritage and family values.
Sentimental Values opens at the Riga Art Nouveau Centre
The exhibition is presented at the museum on Alberta iela, one of the central addresses in Riga's Art Nouveau area. The programme is a current reason to visit the district because the exhibition runs through the autumn and into early December, rather than being a permanent display.
The museum announcement for the exhibition identifies Brants and Vorkale as the participating artists and describes the works as porcelain and fine art. The operator's current listings give the exhibition period as 16 October to 6 December 2026, with the venue identified as the Riga Art Nouveau Centre.
Alberta Street connects the exhibition with Riga architecture
The museum stands at Alberta iela 12, within the Quiet Centre where Riga's Art Nouveau architecture is concentrated. The street itself was built between 1901 and 1908, and eight of its houses are recognised as monuments of national significance.
That setting gives the exhibition a direct architectural context: visitors can encounter contemporary works inside a museum building and then see the early twentieth-century facades that define the surrounding quarter. The Riga Art Nouveau Centre occupies a building designed by Konstantins Peksens, while the wider district also includes major work by Mikhail Eisenstein.
Art Nouveau buildings make up nearly a third of Riga's city centre, according to the Riga tourism guide to Art Nouveau. The concentration of ornate facades around Alberta Street means that the exhibition's subject and its setting belong to the same architectural story.
