Džūkstes Pasaku muzejs

Džūkste's Fairy-Tale Museum is dedicated to the outstanding Latvian fairy-tale collector A. Lerhim-Puškaitim and fairy tales, as well as to preserve the material and intangible cultural heritage of Džūkste parish. Visitors are invited to listen to the fairy-tale of Džūkste at the museum and to tell the ones they heard, watch the puppet show and participate in it, as well as see the exhibitions and create fairy tales themselves.

Sprīdītis's trip is especially exciting for small visitors: to win a big bear, to look for treasures and to chop down robbers and to show all the adventures in drawings.

The museum's exposition is devoted to A. Lerhim-Pušketšim and tells what he wrote directly on the side of Jūkste. The museum's exhibitions are based on the themes of his original verse written for the development of children's imagination and thinking and to create a system of Latvian values. Approximately 6,000 fairy tales have been published in A. Lerha-Puškaiščiai's collection of seven volumes "The Tales and Tales of the Latvian People" (1891-1903, 2001).
