Zanis Lipke memorial museum

The place where all senses are engaged equally to create unforgettable spatial and emotional experience.


The very first sign to find the way to the memorial. 

External appearance - modest, intriguing...

Entry tunnel

The sign


The story


The teller


The drawing of a bunker


The model of Lipke's memorial

The anatomy of one building

Demolition building was a former shopping centre store in the heart of Old Riga. In recent years different activities have been taken a place in this building - a nightclub, art exhibitions and even the architectural office.
Last year it was demolished to allow the space for a new hotel.
My attention was attracted by the building's anatomy and inspiring details.
