Having been to similar museums in the US (Tupelo and one more :-) ), I did not expect to see something special. But I did. While most of the cars were serial models in the other similar museums I had been to, this one featured many exclusive ones - made for the Romanian king, for Stalin or given as a... More

The museum is really good. It's difficult to find but after that you excuse everything. The old cars from soviet times, the cars of the leaders of USSR and so on. Price is democratic - 1ls for students

When I planned my visit to Riga's Motor Museum, I knew just a few things - it's the coolest collection of Soviet government's cars and there are some unique cars in museum. And yes! It was all true and much more! Me and my wife, and I should say she is not a person who can watch cars for hours,... More

Some Latvian vechicles, very rare Audi cars, Brezhniev's crashed RollsRoyce and much, much more - as classic cars lover I liked it very much. Automotive history is not only about muscle cars and old Mercs - go to Riga Motormuseum and discover.

As my title suggests this was my second visit to this museum. I first visited it about 4 years ago. On this occasion I went with my wife, daughter and her boyfriend. The museum was set up by a group of enthusiasts during the soviet era and has grown since. As a fan of Soviet and Eastern European vehicles I... More

You'll see a lot of fancy cars in Riga these days but no Volgas or Ladas. If you want to see what people used to have to drive then it's worth visiting this museum. It was started in Soviet times when, you would think, every car capable of moving would be put to work. But some enthusiasts managed to build... More

I found this museum quite interesting but my husband was entranced--he loves old motorbikes and cars and the display was exceptional apparently. Lots of space and descriptions in English. I enjoyed the bus journey-seeing the non touristy bits of Riga

Lots of lovely cars and motorcycles, well laid out with english info which was useful! Cheap and easy to get to. Loved the artistic impressions used occasionally. Brechnev and Stalin - has to be seen to be believed!! Fab :)
