Jews in Latvia Museum, Jewish heritage museum in Riga, Latvia.
The museum holds a collection of more than 16,000 items including documents, photographs, family albums, and posters dating from the 16th century to present day.
Founded in 1989 by Holocaust survivors under historian Margers Vestermanis, the museum began as a documentation center before opening its first exhibition in 1996.
The museum exhibitions present Jewish history in Latvia through three periods: pre-1918 settlement, 1918-1941 community development, and the Nazi occupation years.
Located at 6 Skolas Street in a former Jewish club building, the museum operates from Sunday through Thursday between 11:00 and 17:00.
The building, designed by architects Edmund von Trompowsky and Paul Mandelstamm, served as a German officers club during occupation and later as a Communist Party venue.
