This is great place, if you would like to have longer strolls! there are number of historical Latvian households and farmsteads placed in one territory. many things to see, read and explore.

After reading about the museum I was expecting much more so I was a little disappointed after my visit. Yes, it is interesting to see how houses looked like about 200 years ago but the place is too dull and there is not enough activities. I was expecting many actiities with many people in traditional clothes, working, singing, dancing and... More

It is like visiting a Latvian country side village from another Century. Enjoy taking a walk in beautiful nature and feel the calm atmosphere, see the folklore style, even participate in some handy craft with an instructor if you are lucky. There is a guest house and the menu is to my liking – good old country side dishes. There... More

can you imagine there are dozens and dozens of old buildings that have been brought here from all around Latvia. they are all authentic, and some have been slightly restored. if you are lucky to get to an annual event such as market, be sure to see how artisans work and buy some souvenirs and snacks

It was a very interesting tour and gave us a real feel for what... More

Relaxing tour and interesting tour guide. The trip to the amber workshop afterwards and traditional Latvian food were very welcome. The essence of amber consisted of alcohol with amber soaked in it - a shot of that is pretty lethal stuff - go for it!

The Museum is huge and better appreciable in a warm season, I went there in November and it was very cold. Nonetheless, we walked for over 4 hours for seeing all of it and enjoyed it a lot. In Winter time there is no restaurant and cafè service, so I would advise you to bring your own packed food for... More
