Dairy Museum
The Milk Manor complex houses the only dairy museum in Latvia – a real museum about real milk for both big and small.
The museum was opened in 2007 and offers to remember, understand, feel and enjoy – what milk is, where it comes from, and how it is treated before it gets to our table. Everything about milk – from the cow’s teat to a glass bottle or carton!

The Dairy Museum welcomes all – families with children, groups of travelers and individuals. The museum offers 250 exhibits that have come from different locations, collective farms, and given as presents by dairy farms and individuals. One of the most valuable exhibits is a present given by the British Queen to Latvian dairy farmers for the best export butter in the 1930s, and a butter box.
