KGB Building

About

The Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, housed in the historic Corner House (the former KGB headquarters), offers a powerful, immersive journey into Latvia’s wartime and Soviet‑era history. Visitors walk through the former KGB offices, underground chambers, and a collection of irreplaceable documents and personal stories that illustrate the oppression and resistance of the Latvian people. Interactive exhibits combine video, audio guides, and tactile displays, allowing guests to experience the difficult realities of occupation and the resilience of resistance movements. The museum also provides guided tours in multiple languages, an audioguide in several European languages, and educational programs for schools. Between the walls of this former secret police hub and the thoughtfully curated displays, the museum invites all ages to reflect on how the past continues to shape Latvia’s present.
