The exhibition presents both known and unknown events, facts and pictures that tell the story of the Bulduri area.

 The authors of the exhibition do not pretend to be a comprehensive presentation of history, as it is only the beginning of further research of Bulduri in order to create a permanent exposition in larger spaces. There is still a lack of information and there are many uncertainties and mysteries, which, like the Bulduri coin deposit, which can be seen in the exhibition, have not been fully resolved.

The exhibition was created in cooperation with the Latvian National Museum of History, the Latvian National Museum of Art, the Ęederts Elias Jelgava Museum of History and Art, the Latvian State Film and Photographic Document Archive of the Latvian National Archives, VAS "Latvijas dzelzceļš", images from the Latvian National Library, visual materials from the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia were used. collections. Authors of the exhibition: Inta Baumane, Līga Strazda, Egita Cironokas, artist Gundars Gulbis.

Aquatic lyricism and politics in Barbara Gaile’s solo exhibition AQUA.WATER

Barbara Gaile’s intentions show both modesty and ambition. The artist’s choice to paint and draw nothing but fragments of aquatic surfaces casts her latest exhibition in the light of disciplined serialism, where every subsequent image is a surprise in terms of nuance and a repetition in the larger scheme of things which has a single focus – water.

The water’s imagery is straightforward, so Gaile’s latest output can be called aesthetic landscape. Gaile treats water as a physical and biological matter that yields to idealisation and sets a certain mood. She uses a conceptual approach where water has become (if I may call it so) a screen reflecting the sky, the time of day and its state of light, the wind and an invisible realm of aquatic flora and fauna that gives the water its colour and plasticity. Water and all its atoms become a scenic image. At the same time, every scene is a moment in the viewer’s consciousness.

All the exhibits are new and never displayed before.

Entry: free.

Ieva Putniņa's exhibition "Kaķacs" features three large-format paintings and stone sculptures that combine both autobiographical and motifs related to Aspazija and Raini.

The exhibition includes the original works of Purvīš created in Jūrmala from the Zuzān collection of the Latvian National Art Museum and Art Center "Zuzeum". For the first time, high-quality reproductions of paintings made in Jurmala, whose fate was unknown a few years ago, or could only be seen in black and white photographs, are exhibited.

The exhibition "Color Poet. Vilhelms Purvītis - Aspazija's neighbor in Dubultos" was created in cooperation with the Latvian National Art Museum and Art Center "Zuzeum", the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts, the Swedish Museum of Modern Art and the Benešov Museum of Art and Design in the Czech Republic. The works created by Vilhelm Purvīš in Jūrmala will be on display in Aspazija's house until November 9, 2024.

The Bulduri Exhibition House (Muižas iela 6, Jūrmala) will host Astra Šēnberga's first solo exhibition Everything is in the Head, which continues to introduce visitors to contemporary ceramic trends.
