Varbla Muuseum

About the museum

The Varbla Muuseum is located in Uue-Varbla manor, whose wooden main building dates from 1797 and was built in the early Classicist style. The museum tells the history of Varbla rural municipality and of everyday local life in the first half of the 20th century. The museum is run privately by a non-profit association led by the Kase family.

The exhibition covers the history of Varbla and the life of the early 1900s, a craft room, the “raamatupööning” (book attic) of the writer Karl Ristikivi, who came from Varbla, and a collection of old tools and machines in the barn. The museum organises a traditional craft fair.
