The Latvian Open Air Ethnographic Museum is one of the oldest and largest museums of its kind in Europe, housing Latvia's oldest wooden architectural treasures. Since its creation in 1924, the museum has maintained its mission of preserving historical heritage for future generations through the ages. This heritage includes evidence detailing architectural features and domestic objects, shedding light on the construction techniques and traditional layout of peasant and fishermen's houses, spanning a chronology from the 17th century to the mid-20th century.

The homes of Latvian farmers and fishermen are displayed in the museum. It also houses craftsmen's workshops, forges, potters' and tar kilns, windmills, churches of various denominations, etc. Seasonal and other traditional festivals are celebrated in the museum, offering the opportunity to delve deeper into their meaning and purpose.
