In the Nīca Museum of Antiquities, you can explore the rich cultural heritage of the Nīca region. The traditional costumes, with their bright skirts, can be seen and even held in your hands to feel their weight. Some of the pieces of folk costumes stored here are over a century old! Here, you can see not only the beautiful Nīca folk costume and the oak wreath but also the Pērkone costume with its impressive bridal wreath.
During your visit to the Museum of Antiquities, you will also have the chance to learn various old words, such as "burste," "prūsine," "dvālektīte," "krīčoles," "caurlielenes," "ņieburs," and others. The museum also houses ancient treasures from Nīca and Otaņki, which tell the story of old traditions in craftsmanship. A variety of antique and special items, tools, photographs, books, and more are on display. The museum curator has a story to share about each of these items.
