JĀNIS JAUNSUDRABIŅŠ MUSEUM ”RIEKSTIŅI”

This museum to Jānis Jaunsudrabiņš was founded in 1967 in the historic farm “Riekstiņi”, which was depicted as “Home” in his childhood memoirs “The White Book”. Different exhibitions are located in the five rooms of a farm outbuilding. The master granary holds a memorial exhibition of Jaunsudrabiņš – his books, paintings or their photocopies, different documents and personal belongings, also from Germany. In a separate room, there is an exhibition about some other authors from the area (Zenta Liepa, Velta Toma, Jānis Veselis, Līvu Jurks) and their literary legacy and a photographic material – the prototypes of “The White Book” and “The Green Book”.
