Muzejs Kino ferma
About This Museum
You'd hardly expect one of Latvia's most charmingly eccentric museums to be nestled in the quiet countryside of Vecpiebalga, but Muzejs Kino ferma is exactly that. It transforms a historic farm complex, once a hub for Soviet-era film projectionists, into a portal to a bygone technological era. The experience feels less like a formal exhibition and more like discovering a forgotten family attic packed with cinematic treasures. Every corner tells a story, from the whirring of old projectors to the glow of vintage camera lenses.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is its array of antique film projectors, some so meticulously restored they feel ready to cast light onto a screen. You'll find everything from early 20th-century magic lanterns and an impressive assortment of cameras to reels of historic Latvian film footage and delicate hand-painted movie posters.
Visitor Information
It's best to check their social media or call ahead before you make the trip out to Dadži, as opening hours can be seasonal. The passionate owners often give personal tours, which really brings the entire collection to life.
