The Latvian Military Museum is located in the very center of Riga, literally next to the old town and is located in the Powder Tower. The powder tower itself is an interesting object for inspection, since it was built to protect Riga at the turn of the XV-XVI centuries and was last rebuilt already in the 20s of the last century for the needs of the Military Museum.
The museum exposition is located on six floors and is devoted to the history of the Latvian army, starting from the Middle Ages and ending with our days. According to the museum it is interesting to just be like, even if you do not delve into historical details. The museum will certainly enjoy the boys of all ages without exception, since many uniforms of various weapons and ammunition are represented in the museum exposition. Many animations and various interactive parts. Consecration and sound support are very well thought out, in some races, the element of presence is completely felt.
In addition to the main exhibition, the museum can also be inspected separate exhibitions, but they are narrower.
A visit to this state museum is free. Only guide services are paid (12 euros for a tour in Russian), but, first of all, about the guide, it is necessary to negotiate in advance, and, secondly, it is more for those who are really fascinated by a military history. The duration of the guided tour - 1.5 hours. You can get acquainted in the exposition yourself about 30-40 minutes. I recommend to include this object for a visiting for a variety or if, for example, weather conditions do not contribute to long hiking along the narrow streets of Riga. Children of school age will also be interested, it is verified on their boys.
