Description

The multi-functional building of the Ventspils Seaside Open-Air Museum is being built on the site of the current structure; it will be a modern, visually appealing building that fits into the environment. It will house museum education programmes, the exhibition By the Sea and in the Lands: Traditional Lifestyles of Northern Kurzeme in the 19th-20th Centuries, Nature of Northern Kurzeme, restoration workshops and other museum working spaces. The Seaside Open-Air Museum’s surrounding territory will be developed, too.
