Ģ. Eliasa Jelgavas vēstures un mākslas muzejs
Museum
😐 We loved paintings of Ģederts Eliass, but everything else seemed a little dull because without reading a lot it wasn't possible to understand the context. Only arriving on the spot we learned that the tower is only open during summertime, it wasn't mentioned on the website.

Jelgava Exhibition of Latvian Railway History Museum
History museum
👍👍 Pavisam neliels muzejs. Ļoti labs personāls, ļoti interesanti stāsta par vilciena vēsturi un citām ar vilcienu saistītām lietām. Personāls spēj ar stāstījumu ieinteresēt, kā mazus, tā lielus apmeklētājus 2h paiet nemanot. Vienmēr var uzzināt, ko jaunu un pārsteidzošu par vilcieniem. Šai muzejā jūtam...

👍 Skaista, sakopta vieta. Diemžēl pandēmijas dēļ šobrīd slēgts, bet teritorija ir brīvi pieejama. Noteikti var iegriezties un būs interesanti aplūkot vēsturiskās ēkas, žogus, krucifiksu, pirti, u.c. lietas un vietas. Bērniem būs kur izskrieties. Ticu, ka arī ekspozīcija ir laba. Ir bezmaksas autostāvv...

Riga Ghetto and Latvian Holocaust Museum
Museum
👍👍 The Latvian Holocaust Museum is a short 5 minute walk from Riga Central Market. The area is not as beautifully restored as Old Town Riga, so it’s an interesting alternative view of the city. The museum attempts to showcase life for Latvian Jews before and during the Holocaust. The cobblestone entry...
