Museum of Riga’s History and Navigation

Enter this unique museum and walk up the stairs to the first floor to discover temporary exhibitions from Latvia and abroad, as well as art and memorabilia from the days of the first Latvian Republic. The second floor displays Bronze Age artefacts and medieval curiosities, such as the sword used by Riga’s executioner in the 16th century and the mummified hand of an unlucky criminal. You can also take a peek at Riga Cathedral’s courtyard, which is also open to the public, from upstairs.
