V. Plūdonis Museum

In the residence of the poet Vilis Plūdonis (1874 - 1940) there is an exposition dedicated to the life and works of the poet, while a family of rabbits created by woodcarver P. Students awaits guests at the Zaķīšu pirtiņa (Rabbit’s sauna). The path of the poet along Mēmele river leads to the poet's favorite workplace by Jautrais stream. In 2017, the museum was supplemented with the restored wheelhouse and barn. In the restoration project, a granary and barn exposition was created.
