The village of Kaikaši, with the partially preserved structures of six peasant farms linked by a network of country lanes and paths, holds concentrated historical evidence about local farmers, fishers, merchants and artisans who used to live here, and remains a survivor all the major historical developments in the area.
The exhibited collection of sun representations from various countries and peoples, gradually assembled by émigré cultural worker Mudīte Austriņa (1924–1999) since the middle of the 20th century, is a unique reflection of her life and persona.
We offer tours of the museum as well as bonfire sites and camping sites on a hill near Kaikaši Glen, a stone’s throw away from the River Balga.
