Lonely Planet review for Museum of the Occupation of Latvia

Both the Soviet and Nazi occupations of Latvia during the last 65 years are chronicled in the chilling yet spirited Museum of the Occupation of Latvia. A gaggle of young tour guides gives free tours in English, and there's also a worthwhile one-hour audio guide available. Here you can also buy historical books on the occupation and dissident memoirs translated into English.

    Fascinating experience even for locals.

    millere recommends this,

    If you ever thought there is a bright side to communism... (In theory perhaps.) It can get a bit overwhelming, but the entrance is free, so if it gets boring or too tough (emotionally), you don't have to regret leaving. I leave a donation every time.
