Museum of Riga's History and Navigation comments Add Yours

  The museum is quite dated and could really use some modernisation. It was mostly display cases of all kinds of items. But if you don't understand Latvian, you need to read the laminated booklets at the entrance of each room, which come in English, German and Russian. These booklets can be a bit too heavy to read, and the translations aren't always as fluent.Also, each room has an attendant that turns on the light when you come in, watches you like a hawk while you're there, and then turns the light off again when you leave the room.The temporary exhibit while I was there was the history of a beauty salon chain in Riga. Not really interesting for a bald guy like me...The museum costs Ls 3, and another Ls 2 for a permit to take pictures inside.
