Žanis Lipke Memorial

Very interesting museum about a family that helped Jewish people escape the Holocaust, as well as dissidents during Nazi and Soviet regimes. The architecture is very interesting, showcasing several themes in the story, and the entrance and audioguide are free. Staff was amazing. Since Latvia became known as a collaborator to the Nazi regime, this museum was built trying to show the other side of the story, that of resistance and solidarity. Good place to go while in Riga.

Worthwhile to take time to visit an out of the way place with a significant impact. Not flashy, across the River in a quiet neighborhood, but this is where courage lived out the call to lay down your life for others. Take time to step away from the popular and easily located spots in Riga and visit this side street across the River.

We decided to take some hire bikes over to visit this museum which made it is fairly quick journey from the old town. The museum is free so a good choice if you are on a budget - and you can make an optional donation. The exhibition is well thought out and very creatively put together. The story is also very interesting and tells an fairly unknown side. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. Overall an impressive museum/memorial. Worth a visit.

Its one of the best museums in Riga. Really glad i went there. A memorial for a family that helped others in need by risking their own lifes. The concept, architecture and also the receiption of history are quite modern. Free of admission, but i hope people donate enough so they can continue their great work.

Absolutely touching memorial! The design of the house is fantastic and special. From the first step into the house you feel emotional and interested in what Zanis Lipe did to fight for humanity! Definitely worth visiting!!!

Very good museum! Great architecture, good audio guide and friendly staff. More people should know about it. Go check it out!

Exhibition and environment are interesting and thought-provoking. The guide was amazing, passionate about her work and very interesting person to listen.

A very artistic and creative approach to telling such an interesting story of a family so brave and underrated! I was amazed by the imput of the collective and how the museum was built - love its design! Thank you to everyone who made it happen, thanks for the lovely staff and the biggest thanks so the Lipke family for being so selfless and caring.
