A view from the bottom of the circular stairs at Riga’s Art Nouveau Museum
Desert View Watchtower, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
Where is this museum? I love Art Nouveau!
It’s in Riga, Latvia. It’s located in a wonderful Art Nouveau mansion, whose lower floors recreate the apartments of the original owner.
Riga has possibly more Art Nouveau buildings than anywhere else due to a huge building surge at just the right time. And some of them are truly spectacular. I’ll be exploring them, and the museum, in future blogs!
