Upīte Museum of Cultural History of Ontans Slisans, Upite folk house, and Upīte library are located under one roof, forming together the Upītes Center of Non-material culture.

The museum offers to master traditional craft skills:

  • weaving on large looms;
  • weaving belts of the Northern Latgale according to noble technique;
  • weaving straw hats;
  • macrame;
  • making wooden flutes.

 

The collection of exhibits of the Museum is unique due to such items as the collection of grain shovels of the Upites surrounding area, and all the books written by Ontans Slisans.

Each Autumn the museum hosts the oldest festival of Latgalian songs and poems “Upītes Uobeļduorzs”.
