This is a very good museum, located in Old Town with free entrance and lots of information (also very good video materials).

allow alot of time if you wish to read all the boards, they seem to go on forever, but well worth the reading, this country has suffered so much

Interested story of Soviet - Nazi ocuppation of Latvia. Many interested artefacts, pictures and documents.

Very informative and interesting. I spent nearly 2 hours there working my way through the history of Riga and Latvia. There is lots of information all in Latvian, English and Russian which meant I could understand and appreciate the information, exibits, pictures. It is centrally placed just next to the Blackheads Museum / Town Hall. Free entry with donation.

The building itself is very representative for the museum. When you've been there you understand... It's a very interesting and important museum that you should visit if you go to Riga or have any interested in history, but at the same time it's very sad to read about and see the pictures in here.

A must do whilst in Riga. Very informative. We spent a good hour looking around and taking in the history. Certainly a place where tourist must go.

If you want to understand the Latvian history, this is a must. Do not run through the exhibits but spend a few hours trying to undersytand the Latvian journey.

Admission is by donation - be generous. You need to know these stories. Visit the bookshop too for real-life stories you can't get anywhere else.

The museum is well done and gives a ton of information about the three different period of occupation in Latvia's history. We learned a lot about what the Latvian people had to endure, and it hit home to see that their occupation ended during our lifetime. I would definitely encourage anyone visiting Riga to visit this museum.
