3U: Unusual, Universal, Ultraauthentic
General museums have little care about reality, they must make just show. Bread museum is limited in this, they must be real, because museum work on daily basis producing bread, šmakovka, smoked meat and excellent food. They must show real things, real process, and know significance of every single grain, tool, or movement in every place of exhibition. And MAIN benefit: they serve food made in museum. Dinner in museum was something special, even for local who are common with traditional ultra high requirements in kitchen, that was special event. KEEP IN MIND: museum services must be offered few days before. When you call by phone there will be women voice speaking something. That is greeting from museum, not information about wrong call! Contacts can be found on internet, they spoke Latvian, Latgalian, Russian also English and Deutsche, just maybe necessary to wait while they found right person to translate. Show worth every cent.

Great bread
The hostess of the museum is a very nice and interesting woman who makes sure the visitors have a lot of fun discovering national traditions and the art of baking. If you want an excursion make sure you reserve it in advance, but in case you don't have such an opportunity visit the shop right there to buy amazing fresh bread and enjoy a great variety of handmade baked goods and honey!
