Visitors can learn about the handicrafts of Kurzeme here and watch local artisans spin yarns (literally), before purchasing something to take home with them.
Housed in a wooden structure built during the reign of the dukes of Courland, it was used as a boys’ school during Soviet times before being converted into an exhibition hall. English is pretty scarce, so call ahead if you are interested in watching ceramics demonstrations, or if you would like a guided explanation about the history of the building (a classroom still remains intact with desks and chalk slates) and the town.
