The furnishings of the museum reflect different periods of time, spanning from the early 1900's to the 1970's. In Västra Vemmenhög there is a walking path that leads up to the little waterfall. It then passes through the village, before leading back to the school. The museum is open during the season, at other times open by appointment.
House of the Blackheads (Melngalvju nams) is a building situated in the old town of Riga. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornaments.
The structure was bombed to a ruin by the Germans June 28, 1941 and the remains demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999. Today the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.
