Jūrmala Open Air Museum
This is the largest and the most inviting museum in Jurmala. Located at the foot of the Raga Dune, the Jurmala Open Air Museum is an attractive way to discover the daily life of fishermen at the turn of the 20th century. Here, you can climb on the decks of two authentic fishing boats, try your skills at the rope-making workshop, and visit authentic houses of fishermen. Around noon on Thursdays in summer, the museum offers a pleasant surprise to gourmets, as it hosts fish-smoking events where local fishermen show and tell about the traditional ways to smoke fish, inviting the guests to try the product.
An important event of the Jurmala Open Air Museum in autumn is the Wine Festival, which hosts home-made wine makers competing for the title of being the best in Jurmala. A walk in the Raga Dune Nature Park will become an excellent addition to a visit to this museum. The recently renovated track with sightseeing platforms is an excellent place for a picnic outside.
