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.

The audiovisual installation “Holidaymaker on the Way to Jūrmala” presents the historical journey to the seaside resort across different periods. The exhibition is structured as a symbolic route, using sound, visual and spatial elements to depict travel by horse-drawn carriages, steamships and railways, highlighting the environment and everyday experience of leisure travel.

The Jūrmala Museum branch in Aspazija House is hosting a magnificent and diverse exhibition “Women’s Companion – Handbag”, which will reveal how at different times this accessory has been not only a practical necessity, but also a vivid messenger of personality and the style of its era. As the French fashion designer Christian Dior (1905 – 1957) once said: “A woman’s handbag is her personal history, dressed in leather or silk.”

Initially, a handbag was an item used at high society balls and social events. It became an indispensable everyday accessory for women in the second half of the 19th century, when representatives of other social classes gradually began to wear it as well.

The handbags on display at the exhibition represent the period from the 1880s to the Second World War. They are made of a variety of materials – silk, leather, silver, metal and others.

The exhibition exhibits handbags and accessories from the collections of 12 Latvian museums and 27 private individuals. Also on display are handbags that once belonged to prominent Latvian cultural figures – actresses Elvīra Bramberga, Dace Akmentiņa and Emīlija Bērziņa, opera singer Elfīda Pakule, as well as writer Anna Brigadere.

The author and curator of the exhibition is Mārtiņš Vesperis, a researcher at the Jurmala Museum, and the artist is Ieva Lapiņa.

The exhibition runs from May 28 to September 19.

“Aspazija House” opening hours – Tuesday to Saturday 10:00 – 18:00; Sunday 11:00 – 16:00; Monday – closed.

Gļebs Panteļejevs: “Monuments” (12 June–2 September)

A solo exhibition by Latvian sculptor Gļebs Panteļejevs, exploring themes of freedom, moral values, and individual responsibility. One of the leading figures in contemporary and monumental sculpture in Latvia, Panteļejevs is known for works that honor human achievement, historical memory, and principles of social importance.

In Monuments, the artist reflects on the mobility of the soul and the fragility of freedom in an age when individuals can become participants in their own unfreedom. Panteļejevs’s sculpture is distinguished by classical mastery of form, a modernist sense of abstraction, and an ability to transform monumental subjects into deeply personal and emotionally resonant experiences.

Until 31 October, the square by Dzintari Concert Hall hosts the open-air exhibition “Dzintari Concert Hall – 90”, tracing the venue’s development over more than a century – from the entertainment garden of the Edinburgh Kurhaus, with its balls, operettas and variety performances, to a major centre of symphonic music. The exhibition also follows the architectural evolution of the concert hall: the historic hall built in 1936, featuring wall paintings by Ansis Cīrulis, the modernist summer concert hall opened in 1960, and the additions introduced in the 21st century. Historical photographs and documentary materials reveal Dzintari as a place where resort culture, music and architecture have together shaped one of Latvia’s most recognisable cultural landmarks.

The international contemporary art exhibition “In the Flow” brings together artists of different generations and countries, representing different art media and forms of expression – painting, graphics, sculpture, glass and textile art, video and installation, and who speak in the language of art about invisible processes – intuition, consciousness, memory, encounter, change and spiritual experience.

The exhibition features 23 artists: Sigita Enika, Ināra Garklāva, Ieva Krūmiņa, Liene Mackus, Zaiga Putrāma, Igors Bernāts, Kaspars Brambergs, Andris Breže, Valdis Celms, Māris Čačka, Miķelis Fišers, Gints Gabrāns, Ritums Ivanovs, Atis Jākobsons, Leonards Laganovskis, Verners Lazdāns, Paulis Liepa, Pēteris Līdaka, Jānis Murovskis, Artis Nīmanis, Reinis Pētersons, as well as internationally renowned foreign artists Cristina Lucas (Spain) and Maurizio Donzelli (Italy).

The exhibition “In the Flow” does not provide ready-made answers. It invites you to stop, ask questions and let yourself experience.

A guide has been prepared for the exhibition, with the help of which the viewer will be able to better understand the themes touched upon in the works of art. The exhibition is complemented by a parallel program, which will include master classes for children and young people, as well as workshops and talks for adults.

The company Dateks.lv. provides a high-performance computer and software for Gints Gabrāns' MI installation.

The Jūrmala shown in the exhibition is a resort town of the 1920s–1940s — lively, elegant and diverse.

Jūrmala has always been more than just a city by the sea. It is a place where nature, architecture, recreation and people's desire to stop for a moment meet — to breathe in the pine air, go to the beach, walk along parks, streets and courtyards hidden in the shade of wooden summer houses.

The photographs reveal beach promenades, swimming pools, sanatoriums, stations, cafes, concert gardens, boat piers, Ķemeri Parks, the bustle of Jomas Street and quieter moments among the pine trees. Some of these places have survived, some have changed, but the special feeling of Jūrmala is still recognizable.

The aim of the exhibition is to invite the viewer not only to look at old photographs from the book “A Walk Through Beautiful Jūrmala”, but to take a walk through time. Using the augmented reality app “Old Jurmala”, you can see how the past meets the present — the historical image becomes a starting point from which you can see what the same place looks like today, or enjoy historical videos.

Beautiful Jūrmala is not just a memory of the past. It is a city that continues to change, preserving its resort spirit, architectural richness and the presence of nature. This exhibition invites you to take a closer look — at the buildings, streets, people, sea and light — and see that Jūrmala was beautiful then and is beautiful now.

Entrance to the exhibition is free.

Opening hours from Tuesday to Saturday from 12:00 to 15:00. 18:00, closed on Sundays, Mondays.

The exhibition is on view until September 7.

From 3 July to 6 September, the sculpture and object exhibition “Art Shore. Oasis of Secrets” will be on view at Dzintari Beach near Turaidas Street, featuring works by Roberts Diners, Lilija Dinere, Matiass Jansons, Krzysztof Krzysztof from Poland, Mārtiņš Daksis, Kęstutis Benedikas from Lithuania and Artūrs Bogdanovs.

The exhibition is designed as a symbolic, poetic space dedicated to the imagery of Katrīna Reinovska’s poetry and her life story, while reflecting on what it means to be the first.

From 16 July to 9 September, Cut Art Gallery’s summer pop-up at 1A Vienības prospekts in Jūrmala will present the exhibition “Taboo or Not”, featuring Anna Matveeva and Vladislav Saveljevs; the exhibition opening will take place on 16 July at 6.00 p.m.

From 22 July to 30 August, Bastejs Gallery at 10 Skultes Street in Priedaine will present two new solo exhibitions – Helēna Heinrihsone’s “FETISH AS ART” and Gustavs Filipsons’s “VISITORS”. Both exhibitions turn towards the human inner world, personal symbols and art’s ability to reveal deeper layers of consciousness. In “FETISH AS ART”, Helēna Heinrihsone explores the fetish as an object, image or symbol created by the individual and gradually charged with special meaning; lipstick, perfume, roses and the contours of the female body become central elements in both minimal and more expanded compositions. Gustavs Filipsons’s works created for “VISITORS” reveal the artist’s search within his inner world – each piece is conceived as an independent message, sign or marker on a path of personal growth.
