The Meadow Museum was created in a century-old Kaldabruņa primary school by the ‘Ūdenszīmes’ society.
Its exhibits are put together such that they represent the course of a human life. Enter the world through the golden dew on silk grass; become engrossed with the enormity of the world at the Childhood light object; experience creative adventure in the wreath of a Cloud; discover the other side of life in the wreath of Heritage.
The main exhibition is complemented by the wreath of Healers telling the stories about local natural healers, and the sash of Kaldabruņa Māra in the hole of an oak.
The ‘Midnight Meadow’ multimedia exhibition is an adventure of its own: it comprises six vertical projections with video, audio and text menus in four languages: ‘Latvia’s magic plants’, ‘Grass of flowers, grass of characters’, ‘Solstice night’, ‘Nocturnal birds’, ‘Nocturnal inhabitants of the soil and grass’, ‘Sleeping together’.
For a period between July and September, the Meadow Museum goes outdoors, and builds an exhibition of hay sculptures in the apple garden next to the Kaldabruņa school.
The museum also offers various creative workshops, with glass and wood crafts, laser engraving, crafts with natural materials. These workshops result in original ornaments and interior objects, which can be bought and ordered.
Average object visiting time: 2 hours
Working hours: must be booked in advance.
