Museum House of Treasures

Welcome to the House of Treasures of the Free State – a place where the era of Latvia’s first independence comes to life!

This is no ordinary exhibition hall – it’s a true treasury, a source of pride not only for the people of Rēzekne but for all Latvians. Here, you’ll find hundreds of unique historical artifacts – medals, breast badges, uniforms, swords, documents, photographs, and more, telling the story of our nation from the War of Independence to the outbreak of World War II.

The most amazing about the exposition is that around 80% of these treasures have returned home from abroad, thanks to ten passionate collectors who spent years tracking the items down and preserving our history.
