The Latvian National History Museum (LNVM) is a creative and dynamic heritage institution that collects, preserves, researches, interprets in a modern way, and promotes various themes in Latvian history, as well as provides an engaging and content-rich experience at the museum.

The Latvian National History Museum (LNVM) operates in four locations in Riga: the museum’s exhibitions are located in Riga Castle, Dauderi, and the Popular Front Museum, while the administration, museum specialists, researchers, restorers, and the collection are located in the Museum Depot on Pulka Street. 

The LNVM’s main venue is Riga Castle, an outstanding architectural monument and the museum’s historical home, which has recently been restored to its original appearance. Starting in March 2026, the museum will open a new exhibition on Latvian history titled “Straumējot laiku.” On the fifth floor of the castle, there is a space for activities for families with children and school-age children called “Izziņas bēniņi.”
