If you like cars, you must visit this museum! Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures and only stayed for about 1.5 hours, but I think I could have stayed for 3 for 4 hours easily! There are a wide range of vehicles to look at; vintage cars, race cars, motorcycles, and even bicycles! I also enjoyed the vintage radio exhibit showcasing radios made in Riga. My favorite were the Soviet cars since I do not have many chances to see them where I come from. I went on a tour with an English-speaking guide. His English was very good, and he spent just the right amount of time on each piece and gave interesting facts about them. The facility is spectacular! I have also been to the Ferrari factory museum and I would put this facility on par with the Ferrari museum. The building is nice, the vehicles are interesting, the gift shop has nice models, and the cafe has good food at reasonable prices. The best part is, you can have lunch outside while watching cars on the adjacent race track! I will definitely come back by myself and spend several hours taking pictures of the cars and hopefully spend some time on the track as well. I can't think of a better day for a motorhead! TIP: Don't forget to go downstairs to the bottom floor! This is where the bicycles are and several vintage cars made in Riga. The guide said many guests aren't aware that there is a whole other floor to visit!

Сошлись мои страсти воедино. Обожаю музеи, старьё всяческое историческое, автомобили и технику, и детей своих таскать по всему этому, даже супротив желания отпрысков. Я был во множестве музеев, но это музей музеев! Это страсть создателей, их талант и искренняя любовь к своему делу. И я обожаю профессионалов своего дела. Рижский мотормузей. Я вхожу - и этот легкий запах - запах масла и бензина. Его уже нет в современных гаражах, но я его помню, и это вызывает лишь приятные воспоминания. Каждый экземпляр техники, как только сошедший с конвейера. Любой автомобиль, не абы какой, а редчайший экземпляр модификаций своего модельного ряда. Сливки сохранившихся и воссозданных автомобильных шедевров и примет эпохи. Всё-всё-всё здесь сделано для человека, для развития и наслаждения. На фотках видно, как мой ребенок то там, то там залипает на какой-нибудь интерактивный стенд. А люди здесь… – замечательные люди, неравнодушные! Не могу удержаться, заглядываю в салон, касаюсь не без удовольствия кузова. Смотрители обращают внимание на то, что нельзя трогать предметы. И в общении сочувствуют, понимают, как нелегко страстному зрителю)), сокрушаются, что сами бы рады всюду присесть, порулить – да никак нельзя. И тут же включаются в диалог, начинают рассказывать, преподносят различные исторические факты. При этом я ощущаю уважение к истории, которую не изменить, всё без неприязни и злобы, нормальное, спокойное восприятие и уважение себя же, через память к своему прошлому. Я восхищен! Восторг!) Машины, мотоциклы, велосипеды – я поглощаю их, они меня. На выходе с горящими глазами выражаю своё «вау!» администраторам, и наше внимание с доброй улыбкой переводят на пришедшую партию «новых» старых автомобилей. Специальный автовоз, не такой как для современных автосалонов, а полностью крытый специализированный полуприцеп из которого выкатываются столетние экземпляры еще с керосиновыми фарами, но в заводском состоянии! Одно это стоило того, чтобы сюда приехать. А мы видели и ощутили в миллион раз больше. Блин, мечты моего детства – мопеды Рига… я могу их вновь увидеть и коснуться) Кайф!) Никогда бы не стал писать, будь это просто место, но это волшебное место!!) Спасибо люди, Рига, Латвия за эту память, историю, любовь, ностальгию, скрупулёзность и щедрость!

Nice and informative museum. The ticket is 10 Euros for adult. We spent approximately 1 hr there, it was enough. Those cars had a wow factor for me, really worth to see it, pictures do not provide the luxurious feeling of the beauty and concepts. I would love to score it as 5 stars but Ukrainian propaganda was everywhere. Every single car from Soviet Union time had a sticker, one car even had Ukraine flag. Even in the coffee shop I spotted Ukraine sticker on the plant pot !Why? Leave politics out of transport museum and coffee shop. It doesn’t make any sense.. Also, we had coffee latte there. I wouldn’t recommend- tasteless, watery, barely warm. Girl at the reception was lovely, spoke good English and explained us everything.

🤦Did NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS! But it's cheap... 🤷♂️ I was hoping for more!!! information, interactive screens. I would like to see more videos, graphics etc. Thankfully, I did not take my Boy (5 years) it's a bit boring for little kids. Only one display where you can listen a bit of story snout car... All the rest reading (but not a lot, just general info). Only three languages RUS, LAT & ENG. I heard about "big reconstruction" a couple of years ago... but it looks like more than half of the budgeting did not reach this museum...🫢 Worst one: even here... in museum!!!... Latvia is putting her political propaganda and russophobia 👎

We went there with my family as we only have seen this museum before the renovation and it was absolutely worth a visit. So many amazing old cars to see, you can learn interesting facts with interactive screens, listen to different stories, 3 floors to explore and we got luck as it was pretty quiet before groups of people start to come in. There is lots of fun staff for kids to do too. There are lockers where you can put €1 and lock it, there is also toilets next to that, a cafe place just next to the entrance. We paid each €10 adults, and €5 for pensioner and same for disabled person.
