    The exhibition has temporarily moved to just behind the Freedom Monument so don't head to the location on Google maps. It's a small exhibit but it does detail very well the struggles of Latvia during Nazi and USSR occupation and finally the move towards liberation in the early 90s. It's also free so there's really no excuse not to go.

    Very boring exhibition in my opinion. The museum is supported by donations mainly. They insist you first pay and then look. But they'd better pay you to visit it. Unfriendly personnel.

    Great museum to learn the whys and wherefores that make up the unique Baltic outlook on modern world history

    I highly recommend taking the guided tour, the guide was an incredible story teller, genuine & heartfelt. He knew how to add levity & humor where appropriate as well as sharing personal insight & familial experiences to bring reliability to a heavy topic that still weighs prominently on the national consciousness

    It's small. Only need an hour. The museum is in Latvian and English and includes some videos. It's by donations, so go and give what you think it was worth.

    Great insight into history and incredibly well designed museum. Brilliant exhibits and use of storytelling and technology to guide you through history. Never gets boring!

    The workers are working hard, but they are bringing up many facts that have been proved wrong by historians from THE WHOLE WORLD and not only by pro-Russian ones, so don't think this is a butthurt Russian's review. Historical museums are supposed to be objective but this one isn't.

    One of my favorite stops in Riga; very informative, albeit small museum about the interesting and often-forgotten history of occupation.

    The museum is located in the center of the old town. We tried the 5D movie theater, which is a tour of Riga main attraction. Very recommended!

    Amazing museum of Latvian anti soviet propaganda. Only good thing is that it was free. But jumping off a bridge is also free, and that's probably more fun.

    Temporarily moved to: Raiņa bulvāris 7, Riga, Latvia.
    Well worth the visit. Gives a detailed history Latvia. Ignore all the 1 star reviews by butt-hurt Russians. They should be more like the Germans and accept their historical atrocities.
