Spent a good few hours here. Excellent variety of exhibits, showing the military history of Latvia. Brilliant that the entire museum is completely free of charge too. Thoroughly enjoyable!

It is very nice and huge museum. I definitely recommend visiting it. Museum is Free of charge and it is open until 17:00. You can learn a lot about Latvian history and also surrounded countries. I really like modern historic part and after || world war.

This museum is very important to the Latvian people , the story tells how they fought and challenges faced during the first and second world wars. Amazing how the buildings are still standing tall as well as the barracks which students clean up and visit all the time. This museum is free and an absolute must for any one visiting Riga
