Our major art nouveau walking tour in Riga encompassed two neighborhoods, Elizabeth Street (my translation) and Alberta St. (ditto), and their environs. Again, we were guided by both our printed guidebook and by the Museum's excellent website. Again, we were reminded that great variety and diversity underlie art nouveau, like any artistic movement, and that much of this diversity relates to the locale and its history and stories.

Many interesting things on that walk. Looks like lots of other people were taking photos of one of the more famous buildings.
