Anna Brigadere Museum Sprīdīši
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet country road in the Latvian region of Tērvete, the Anna Brigadere Museum at Sprīdīši feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping directly into a storybook. This was the beloved homestead of one of Latvia's most cherished authors, a place where her words literally came to life around her. You can almost hear the rustle of her skirts in the hallway and sense the creative energy that fueled her timeless tales for children. Wandering the grounds, with its classic Latvian wooden farmstead, offers a profoundly peaceful glimpse into the soul of her work.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the museum is Anna's original writing desk, left exactly as it was, alongside personal letters and first editions of her plays and stories. Don't miss the charming 'Sprīdītis' puppet show exhibit, which brings her most famous character to life in a wonderfully playful way.
Visitor Information
It's a bit off the beaten path, so having your own transport is best. Combine your trip with a visit to the enchanting Tērvete Nature Park with its fairy-tale trails, it's just a short drive away and makes for a perfect day exploring Latvia's literary and natural magic.
Architecture & Building
A beautifully preserved traditional Latvian wooden house, painted a crisp white with a steep, dark roof—it’s the quintessential image of a countryside home, humble yet full of character.
