Отличный музей. Есть сопровождающие листочки на нескольких языках в каждом зале. Несколько неожиданный маршрут - сначала 3-й этаж, потом потихоньку спускаемся вниз. Мы там пробыли часа 4, до самого закрытия. Успели пройти 30%. Путешествовал с ЧатГПТ - фотографировал экспонат и табличку и просил рассказать о нём (не принимайте всё на веру, пока ИИ врёт примерно в 10-20%). **В некоторых залах стояла жара.** Мы начали примерно с 11 века и дошли до 15. Видели экспонаты каменного века, железного века. Остов деревянного корабля и якори примерно 12-13 века, всякие ядра, колокола, украшения, монетки, печати, кубки... Дошли до меча рижского палача и арбалетов.
