Rīgas vēstures un kuģniecības muzejs

I spend more then one hour in the museum. There are lot of interesting historical artefacts. Everybody ho like history should visit this museum. I really recomend it.

Interesting museum with a lot of items, but the descriptions are generally very detailed. Sounds be nice to have an overview to make it easier to skim"."

Ļoti jauki pasākumi bija organizēti uz muzeja 250 gadu jubileju. Muzejam ir brīnišķīgi eksponāti, kuri liecina par Rīgas iedzīvotāju vēsturiskajām tradīcijām, pilsētas dzīvi vairāku gadsimtu krājumā. Muzeja patstāvīgā ekspozīcija ir papildināta ar krāsainas gaismas instalācijām.

Rīgas vēsture no pašām senākām liecībām.Aizraujoša ekspozīcija vestures mīļotājiem.Zinoši un laipni darbinieki.

Disappointingly dower. You had to use ring binder English translations in each room rather than have them where the items were. Room stewards made relaxed viewing impossible. In the end I just read the history parts of the binders and wandered quickly through the exhibition. Can't believe it cost more than the much better medical museum and the same of the awesome museum of occupation.

Ekspozīcija par Rīgas vēsturi un izcelsmi. Pēc muzeja nosaukuma gaidīju mazliet kaut ko citu- vairāk kuģniecības eksponātus, taču ekspozīcija pārsvarā par Rīgas vēsturi. Kopumā apskatei kādas 11 telpas, 2 stāvos. Ja iedziļinās katrā ekspozīcijā, tad jārēķinās ar vairāk nekā stundu visa apskatei.

A great little museum. It was super quiet when we went at around 2pm on a weekday and had the rooms to ourselves for the most part. The museum is extensive and took us over 2 hours to walk around. There aren't english translations on the labels and so you have to use booklets in each room. We didn't find that this took anything away from our experience however and the museum has some fantastic items. A great day out, however it wouldn't be on the top of our list, especially when this museum is competing with other, newer museums nearby.

Very nice museum, and nice to know that it has been a museum for over 200 years! Lots to see and very affordable pricing. Beautiful halls and history spans from Stone Age to 20th century. Navigation section has lots of great models. Loved it.

Riga has such a rich history, so a visit to this museum is very much worth it. Well explaining booklets in every room (in several languages), and tour guides are available for a fair price. When visiting the Baltic states knowing something about the most important city of the region is an absolute must. This museum is a great start, but deep divers that already have a basic knowledge will be served too all to well.
