Lauma ZJanuary 20, 2015Definitely worth visiting if you're interested in the history of Latvia during wartime. Admission is free and all the information is also available in English, Russian and some - in German.
Kirill OOctober 16, 2019Temporarily moved to another building so there’s more to read than to see or touch. Still a good one
Sid HarringtonAugust 17, 2018(August 2018) The museum has been temporarily relocated due to renovation. You’ll find it around the corner from The Freedom Monument, here: 7 Raiņa bulvāris, Centra rajons, Rīga, LV-1050, Latvia
Öykü Y.April 17, 2015Very informational museum and there are also English explanations ^^ you don't have to pay for visit but you can do donations.
David GrahamSeptember 12, 2015Small but interesting museum telling the story of Latvia's 50 year occupation by the Soviets and the Nazis.
Carl GriffinNovember 28, 2015Building looks out of place compared to surrounding buildings. Interesting exhibitions.
Raimonds_BMarch 10, 2011It was established in 1993 to exhibit artifacts, archive documents, and educate the public about the 51-year period in the 20th century when Latvia was successively occupied by the USSR (1944)
LiveRigaMarch 7, 2011Have an insight in the Latvian life during the three times when Latvia was occupied. Free entrance.
Billy PengillySeptember 23, 2016really good, a bit tough, so better not do it as the last thing on your trip
Inese KrievinaMarch 7, 2013Due to the Museum’s reconstruction it has moved to temporary quarters in Raiņa Boulevard 7, Riga, the former USA embassy (near to the Freedoms Monument).
Giedrė TiškevičiūtėAugust 21, 2015you pay by donations to get in here. informative museum, but not very big
Mārcis RAugust 17, 2013Recommend - they have really interesting tours. Quite a must-see to get to know the history of this region. Besides, the waffel-replica Middle age Blackheads house next to the museum looks stunning :)
EvaDecember 13, 2014This is a very interesting and very well executed exhibition on a very important subject. Must see! Also very accessible for English speakers.
LizaAugust 27, 2015Описание экспонатов дублируется только на английском, но есть парочка сенсорных планшетов, из которых можно узнать о всей истории оккупации Латвии. Вход за пожертвования
P.O.Box: MOSCOWDecember 11, 2014Симпатичный музей. Интересно с разных сторон смотреть на историю и материал тех времен. Каждая точка зрения несет в себе то, что нужно кому то, а нам приходится делать выбор.
- Aleksandr MalkinMay 19, 2015Сейчас в этом здании совсем маленькая экспозиция. Основная на Райниса, 7. Вход свободный, можно оставить пожертвование.
Lory SharapovaMarch 10, 2018Если есть время в Риге, можно зайти на часок для ознакомления. Вход бесплатный.
Dmytro MantulaSeptember 18, 2013Таллинский музей намного интересней! Здесь же 95% "экспонатов" — распечатанный текст :((
Alla AvtyushenkoFebruary 8, 2016Оч странное место, но посмотреть, я думаю, стоит. Взгляд со стороны... другое мнение, заставляет задуматься
Jevgēnijs TereščenkoJune 19, 2017Точно не является тем местом, куда хочется сходить во второй раз...
Анечка ГавриковаMarch 12, 2016Музей замечательный, удивительно, что вход в него бесплатный. Огромное количество экспонатов, начиная от оружия, заканчивая - военными формами всех времён .
