Aspazija's House in Majori is the summer home of Aspazija (1865–1943), Latvia's most celebrated playwright and poet, and her husband Rainis, the national poet. The couple spent many summers here, and the house has been preserved as a museum with period furnishings, personal effects, and exhibitions on their lives and literary work. It's one of the more intimate literary museums in the Baltic states — small enough to feel genuinely personal rather than institutional.
Aspazija was a central figure in the Latvian national awakening and wrote boldly feminist plays at a time when that was a provocative act. She and Rainis spent years in exile in Switzerland during Tsarist suppression, returning after Latvian independence in 1920. The house gives a sense of the cultural life of the Latvian intelligentsia in the interwar years.
The museum is open in summer, with reduced hours in the shoulder season. Signs are in Latvian, though staff can usually give basic explanations in English. The garden is pleasant and the surrounding street — Jomas iela 36 — retains much of its early-20th-century character.
