Cultural Alternatives for Midsummer Week: Latvian Art in a Norwegian Toilet and Fashion Trends in Milan
Aigars Bumburs, a jury member of Latvia's 'Kilograms of Culture' award, recommends three unconventional cultural destinations for the Midsummer week: a Latvian artwork in a Norwegian toilet, fashion history in Antwerp, and next summer's trends in Milan and Paris.

If you want to step away from bonfires, songs, and barbecue smoke during the Midsummer week, Aigars Bumburs, a representative of the jury for the Latvian public media annual award 'Kilograms of Culture', suggests three cultural stops outside the usual holiday routes.
The first is a Latvian artwork located in a toilet in Norway — an unusual setting that blends art with everyday life. The second is a fashion history exhibition in Antwerp, offering insights into the evolution of fashion. The third is a display of next summer's fashion trends in Milan and Paris.
These recommendations are intended for those seeking cultural experiences beyond traditional Midsummer celebrations, and they come from a jury member who annually evaluates various cultural events.
