If you are looking for souvenirs this is the right place for you. You can find there many different things, even nice dresses.

On the first floor is a shop selling souvenirs and local products. After visiting the shop, I went to the second floor and looking around a bit - saw some candles, weaving things, etc. Then I returned to the gift shop, and the woman there asked me if I wanted to visit the museum and called someone on her cell phone. So I went back up again to visit the museum and the woman mentioned I could make candles or there were candles for sale such as some were 1 lat, some were 2 lats. There was no admission fee, so I bought a candle. As I was leaving, a group of school children arrived, so if you have children I think they might enjoy this museum.

This is a store selling local crafts. It was somewhat interesting, but we did not find anything compelling.

I went into House of Crafts to get out of the cold. What a lovely shop. There are so many beautiful things. I love the wool and linen items. I assume most, if not all, are made in Latvia. There is an excellent selection of hand knitted mittens. They are less expensive than those in Riga. I found a beautiful pair of mittens and lovely linen items for around 30 EUR. It was an excellent shopping experience.

Not very large, and a little touristy, but it has many pretty and well-made items with a local spin. Many of them are unique. Comfortable, low-pressure environment in the town's old school building, which you can visit to get an idea of schooling a century ago.

Great place. Grate Prices. Place were history and culture meets each other. You would think it would be bigger, however, it's big enough to what it serves. I heard they have many different activities going on there for locals and tourists.

The shop was packed with lots of souvenir items. Many things were hand crafted but there was so much it was hard to see it all. I was a bit disappointed.
