Why go

Go to compare Latvia's plants and animals with the wider natural sciences under one roof. Mounted birds and animals, insect collections and minerals give visitors concrete things to examine, while a recreated volcanic eruption changes the pace. The displays bring geology, botany and zoology together in a central Riga visit.

What to look for

  • Mounted animals and birds show species from Latvia's fauna.
  • Insect, plant and mineral displays connect living species with geology.
  • A recreated volcanic eruption adds an interactive display to the collections.

Useful to know

  • Check current exhibitions and admission before visiting.
  • Pair it with nearby central sights when the weather turns.
