4. Burning Conscience

5.0 based on 11 reviews
Learn the harrowing resistance stories of the courageous individuals at the exhibition set up in an actual Soviet prison. The exhibition's multimedia displays provide deep insight into the local community's patriotism and motivation. A timeline covers major events from 1939 until 1957 and extracts from local newspapers draw parallels between propaganda of Nazi and Communist regime policies.

Amazed by how this modern small scale history museum tells the story of the occupation and the Latvian resistance in such a strong, personal, well curated and beautifully (awarded) designed way. Of all things to see in Cesis, Burning Conscience is at the top of my list and I would highly recommend visitors to walk through the gate onto the courtyard and step into Elīna’s exhibition to learn everything about the recent history of Latvia and Cēsis in particular.

Alūksne New Palace is surrounded by a park with oak trees planted in the 18th century. The park is unique for its small architectural buildings. An exciting walk along its paths visiting the Aeolus' temple, the Granite Obelisk, the Alexander's Pavilion, and other buildings that leads to the palace with Neo-Gothic nobility cannot be found in any other place in Latvia.
