Museum of Decorative Applied Arts The Museum of Decorative Applied Arts collects and exhibits works of Latvian professional decorative applied arts dating from the late 19th century. The Latvian national style was developing at this time, using Latvian ethnography as a basis. The museum boasts the richest collection from the porcelain painting studio, "Baltars". This illustrates the first steps of Latvian pioneers in the field of modernism. The museum is situated in the former St. George's Church (1204), the oldest surviving stone building in Riga. After the Reformation in the 16th century it was converted into a warehouse. The white dolomite walls and the impressive 17th century wooden framework of the warehouse are still visible in the interior spaces today.
