Look closely at a ring or bracelet and there’s often a tiny piece of architecture in it. Spectrum: Architecture of Lines builds a small exhibition around that idea. The contemporary Latvian jewellery exhibition runs through Sunday, 13 December 2026 at Riga’s Museum of Decorative Arts and Design, inside the permanent Design Process exhibition.

🔎 Three details to look for
Start with the outline. A curve can carry your eye around a ring, while a repeated angle gives a bracelet its rhythm. Then look at the spaces between the metal parts and imagine what changes as the wearer moves. The museum’s introduction points to Jānis Brants and Una Mikuda for two ways of thinking about proportion and construction. Their work sits alongside pieces by six other artists.
The museum’s exhibition notes give you a few names and materials to look out for. The pieces are part of an ongoing series with the Latvian Jewellery Art Association. Leave time for the surrounding Design Process display, which follows Latvian design from the 1960s onward.
☕ Pair it with an Old Riga afternoon
Go indoors when the weather turns and keep the next stop flexible. If you’re visiting after 27 November, you can add the Christmas market at Dome Square. Wednesday’s later closing time gives you more room to fit the exhibition around the rest of your day.
