How lucky can we get?! After the President of Latvia visited the museum, the Foreign Minister of Latvia, Baiba Braže also came to see us on September 20, 2026. This dynamic personality enjoyed the museum and imparted much additional knowledge. We are so very honored to welcome the dignitaries of Latvia to our gem of a museum.

The Latvian Museum had the honor of hosting the President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs on September 18, 2026. This was the pinnacle of success for the museum since its re-opening in 2022 as a modern institution.

Mr. Rinkēvičs' interest in the museum gave testimony to its importance to the world. Latvia exists in a very strategic crossroads on the world's stage today, and this visit attested to that fact. We thank the President for his time and encouragement.

The Latvian Museum was proud to be part of Heritage Days 2026 on June 28th and 29th. The Latvian ambassador to the US Elita Kuzma opened the two-day celebration by emphasizing the continuing friendship and cooperation between the US and Latvia. After a brief overview of the diplomatic relations between the two nations, Christopher Robinson recounted his time as the US ambassador to Latvia.
Many other programs filled the two days: book talks by Qin Sun Stubis and Indulis Pommers, a presentation by Mark Stubis about his father, artist Tālivaldis Stubis, Latvians in the sports world and much, much more.
About 200 visitors were delighted by all of the activities and refreshments.
See you next year!

The Lange family recently visited The Latvian Museum. Jānis Lange is the City Manager of Riga, but he had never heard of our museum. We were most happy to give them a personal tour before they returned to Latvia where they can tell everyone about us!

How great when a visitor returns to The Latvian Museum two years later with other son. Christy is such a charming person, who called her Latvian mother to tell her about our discussions. What a gem!

May 27th was an absolutely intriguing and fascinating day at the Latvian Embassy with prof. Alan Gregerman and his table of curiousities explaining The Wisdom of Ignorance. The Latvian Museum will certainly take his advice to heart and put on its thinking cap! Thank you!

The Latvian Museum was very honored to have been invited to hear two panel discussions with the former president of Latvia Egils Levits and historians Gatis Krūmiņš, Ilmārs Mežs and Jānis Siliņš at both the Latvian Embassy and at the Victims of Communism Museum in Washington, DC. Both sessions were extremely interesting and enlightening.
