Liepājas okupācijas muzejs

Address: Klāva Ukstiņa iela 7/9, Liepaja

Liepājas okupācijas muzejs explores the loss of Latvian statehood and the history of the occupation period, with a focus on the memories of people who endured repression, family stories and the restoration of independence. Its permanent exhibition covers the Holocaust in Liepāja, the city during and after the Second World War, and local resistance to the Soviet regime. The museum also hosts thematic collection and art exhibitions, lectures and meetings with historians and eyewitnesses of Latvia’s recent history. A further section on the Third Awakening in Liepāja and Latvia is in development.
