Latvian Ethnographic Museum [Latvijas etnogrāfiskais brīvdabas muzejs]

Latvian Ethnographic Museum
100 hectares of life as it used to be. Farmsteads, windmills, fishing villages, churches and other historic structures have been moved here and preserved for posterity. Watch craftsmen perform various tasks or try some Latvian cuisine and drink in the tavern. Although the buildings and the ticket office close at 17:00 you can wander around the grounds until 20:00 in the summer. Take bus N°1 from the corner of Merķeļa and Tērbatas to the Brīvdabas muzejs stop.

Admission: 1.50 - 2.50Ls.

    I visited this The Open air Museum on a sunny day in September '08. Set in woodland beside a beautiful lake this is a great place to visit.You can see houses from all over Latvia, go inside most of them and see room settings as they would hade been in years gone by. Various craftsmen performing their skills, dressed in traditional costumes. Snacks, meals, & souvenirs are available.There are picnic areas also available.Spend the day wandering through the history of Latvia in a lovely setting...not to be missed!!
