The exhibition on the first floor of the former KGB headquarters, organized by the Museum of the Occupation, is free of charge. Visitors can also go on guided tours of the building, tickets are available at "Bilesu serviss" outlets and online store, as well as at the venue.
The "Corner House" will be open every day except Tuesdays – from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, from 12 noon to 7 p.m. on Wednesdays, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
The former KBG building, also known as the "Corner House" by locals, opened last May, offering several exhibitions and guided tours of the building, and hosting various conferences, discussions, concerts and seminars. It became one of the most popular events in Riga's European Capital of Culture program. The exhibition in the building, set up by the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, tells about the activities and atrocities committed by the Soviet State Security Committee (KGB) in Latvia. The building was closed last fall to prepare it for the winter period.
