The National History Museum of Latvia invites you to visit its permanent and temporary exhibitions. The permanent exposition documents the history of Latvia from 9000 BC to 1940, and includes separate exhibitions “Latvian Money through the Centuries” , “Sacral Art” and “The Museum Classroom”. Each year the Museum presents from between five and seven new temporary exhibitions. The Museum can be visited by individuals or groups. Groups have the opportunity to request a guided tour of the exhibitions in Latvian, Russian, English or German.
Museum publications are available at the Museum box office—research papers, object catalogues, studies in Latvian history and souvenirs.
Specialists from the various Museum Departments answer enquiries and provide consultations. Specialists from the Archaeology Department undertake archaeological excavations. Museum conservators perform object research and analysis, object conservation and restoration services. Both curators and conservators offer training in collections and restoration work.
In 2005 the Museum started a new project “The Accessibility of the exposition of the National History museum of Latvia for blind and weak-eyed people”. The project is supported by the State Culture Capital Foundation. Four special stands were made within this project. The stands are dedicated to “the Ancient history of Latvia”, “The 18th -19th cent. goods of Latvian peasants”, “The manors and the lords of the manors in the 18th –19th cent.” and “Latvia in 1918 – 1940”. The different objects are placed on these stands and are available to touch them. The comments are written in Braille.
The Museum organises conferences, seminars, events, etc. Scientific readings are held each year in May, in which lectures are presented on current issues in the research of the Museum collections and on the newest historical research methods.
On the March, 2008 Museum Park of Âraiši joined to the National History Museum of Latvia. The museum is the Lake Castle, which consists of reconstructions of buildings of Stone and Bronze Age where settlement of Latgalians in 9th – 11th century was. There are also ruins of medieval castle dated back to Livonian time.
