Cultural Suggestions for Midsummer Week: From Norway to Milan

Aigars Bumburs recommends three cultural stops outside the usual holiday routes: an art piece in a Norwegian toilet, fashion history in Antwerp, and fashion trends in Milan and Paris.

Aigars Bumburs, a jury member of the Latvian Public Media annual award "Kilograms of Culture", has selected three cultural activities that might be of interest during the Midsummer week for those wanting a break from traditional celebrations. The first stop is an art piece located in a toilet in Norway. The second offers a chance to explore fashion history in Antwerp. The third stop invites following next summer's fashion trends in Milan and Paris. These suggestions are intended for those seeking a cultural experience outside the ordinary.
