Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, is situated on the shore of the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. It is only 80 kilometres south of Helsinki. From the 13th century until the first half of the 20th century Tallinn was known as Reval. The first recorded claim over the place was laid by Denmark after a raid in 1219 led by Valdemar II. In 1227, the Order of the Brothers of the Sword conquered Reval and three years later recruited 200 Westphalian and Lower Saxon merchants from Gotland, who settled below the castle and were granted freedom of customs and land. In 1238 Reval fell back to Denmark, Under renewed Danish rule, the city rapidly grew in size and economic importance. In 1248, the Danish king granted it the Lübische Stadtrecht (town charter). Due to the strategic location, its port became a significant trade hub, especially in the 14–16th centuries when Tallinn grew in importance as the northernmost member city of the Hanseatic League. The king of Denmark sold Reval along with other land possessions in northern Estonia to the Teutonic Knights in 1346. The Kumu Art Museum (Kumu kunstimuuseum) is one of the largest museums in Estonia. It presents both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. The main collection covers Estonian art from the 18th century onwards. Janis Rozentāls (1866 - 1917), Terrassil (Capri) / On the Terrace (Capri) (1912)

Riga has the highest concentration of Art Nouveau architecture in the world. Most of the Art Nouveau buildings in Riga, built during a period of rapid economic growth, date from between 1904 and 1914, with influences from what is now Austria, Finland and Germany.The establishment of an architecture faculty in Riga in 1869 contributed significantly to the city's well-trained architect base. By the end of the 19th century, Riga was an important city in the Russian Empire. Between 1897 and 1913, the city grew by 88%, reaching a population of 530,000 in 1914. In the mid-19th century, the city began to expand beyond medieval Riga, which was once surrounded by gates and walls. These were demolished and replaced by a belt of boulevards and gardens, and the growing city developed according to a grid that followed strict building regulations. Between 1910 and 1913, 300 to 500 new buildings were erected each year, most of them in Art Nouveau style, and most of them outside the old town. Today, Art Nouveau architecture accounts for one third of all "the buildings in the centre of Riga. Located in the center of the "Art Nouveau district" is the museum "Rīgas Jūgendstila Centrs" The staircase leads up to the former studio of the famous Latvian painter Janis Rozentāls. In his honour, a memorial museum has been set up there on the top floor. jugendstils.riga.lv/eng/sakums
