Children's tour "Visiting Baron Munchausen"

The Munchausen Museum helps to revive the stories of the incredible adventures of Baron Hieronymus Karl Friedrich von Munchausen. Baron Munchausen spent his most beautiful years with his wife Jacobina in Latvia, in Vidzema, in the estate of Dunte, where for many centuries people do not cease to tell each other the stories of Munchausen. Dunte is a special place in Latvia, where the sea meets the forest, in winter horses are tied to the tower spires and one shot hit ten ducks, which immediately fall through a pipe directly into the pan.

Munchausen Museum is one of the most visited museums in Latvia, which attracts both local and foreign tourists with its unusual exhibits.

In the room of Munchausen’s wife Jacobina, you will see the paradise of a real lady of the 18th century. In turn, Baron Munchausen will meet you with the game just caught. Hunting trophies and hunting pipes, knives, weapons, the wax figure of Munchausen - all this and much more you can see in the museum of Baron Munchausen.

The exposition of the museum is regularly replenished with new, unusual exhibits. This season you can see a new exposition - the Munchausen Hall of Fame.

On the second floor of the museum you will see wax figures of celebrities past and present. Everyone has the opportunity to take a picture with Maestro Raymond Pauls or basketball star Ulyana Semenova, and also have a small talk with former President Karlis Ulmanis.

In addition to the museum premises, imbued with a sense of wonder and mystery, around the estate grow the tallest oaks of Europe - Munchausen oaks, which the baron himself planted for future generations. They say that these oaks give their energy to everyone who touches them!
