Tērvetes tauriņu māja
About This Museum
Would you believe there's a place in Latvia where butterflies fly freely through a sun-drenched jungle, sometimes even landing on your shoulder? Tērvetes tauriņu māja is this magical, climate-controlled haven that feels like stepping into another world. You'll find yourself surrounded by the gentle flutter of hundreds of wings, from iridescent blue morphos to intricately patterned owl butterflies. The air is warm and alive with color and movement, creating an unforgettable sensory experience that connects you directly with nature's delicate beauty.
Collection Highlights
The main attraction is the walk-through tropical greenhouse where exotic species like the striking Scarlet Mormon and the fast-flying Glasswing butterfly live among lush banana plants and flowering lantana. Don't miss the educational displays showing the incredible transformation from caterpillar to chrysalis to winged adult.
Visitor Information
It's located just off the P103 road in Tērvetes parish—perfect for combining with a visit to nearby Tērvetes Nature Park. The indoor environment stays consistently warm and humid, so dress lightly!
Architecture & Building
From the outside, it presents as a modern, functional building, but inside it transforms into a magnificent glass-domed conservatory filled with tropical vegetation and natural light.
