The picturesque Art Nouveau building at Alberta street 12, having been built in 1903 and designed by K. Pēkšāns and E. Laube, hosts two separate museums for two titans of Latvian culture. Starting in 1904, appartment 9 was the home of the painter Janis Rozentāls and his spouse Ellie Forsrel. The writer and publicist Rūdolfs Blaumanis periodically lived with them as subtenant. In 1973, the appartment was transformed into a museum for both of the great men, showing their sitting room, bedroom and children’s rooms, preserved close to their historical layout, also showing paintings by Rozentāls, and some of his students. Partially accessible to invalids due to spiral staircases
