Although more of an outdoor monument with exhibits than a museum, this courtyard between Maskavas and Krasta streets is still worth a visit, especially if you’re interested in Jewish history. Its main feature is an ominously long wall covered with the names of victims of the Holocaust in Latvia. You can also look at Nazi propaganda, horrifying photos of tortured bodies, stills of ghetto life and grainy black and whites of old synagogues across the country, most of which no longer exist. A proper indoor museum is also in the works, but might not open for some time.

Admission: donations.
