A Beauty Restored

The house of Black heads is a beautifully restored museum that was destroyed during the world war 2. It goes back to the 14th century. I was glad there was an audio guide too. I might have paid under 10 Euros for the entrance with a drink and the audio guide. It was very informative and changed the experience. The outside of the museum has lovely carvings and a clock, while inside there are rooms used for concerts, theatre and opera performances and conferences. In the basement there is a hidden cinema room. The audio guide makes it fun to walk around and know of things. While most of what we see is restored. The cellars are the only original part left. Having said so this is still a wonderful addition to your trip. #myhiddengems #museum #europe #summerdestinations #riga #100waysoftravel #latvia
