Little bit of history from Ogre

Last week I was in Riga and staying at my friend’s place in Ogre, which is around 40 minutes from the centre. During the week, I visited the local history and art museum. The museum used to be a bank building during the Soviet period. For more info about the museum, you can find here.

Office space from 1990 as the bank got privatised. Check out the computers.
