We invite everyone to the Livonian Order Castle for Princesses’ day in the castle on 6th March from 12:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. On the first Saturday of March, 6th March, Ventspils Museum will start something new.
We will try to travel and to get to know festive traditions of other countries without even moving anywhere, by playing them and showing what is characteristic for holidays in some countries. For instance, this year it will be Japan.
From 12:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. the Livonian Order Castle will be waiting for boys and girls to find out together how children celebrate holidays in Japan: what is Hina Matsuri? How to make a fan and a paper doll? Why do boys make carp-shaped flags? How to hold a rice ball by bamboo chopsticks? What is netsuke, why do Japanese men wear it at the belt and how to make it? How large should the paper sheet be to make a paper crane? In order to find answers to all these difficult questions, you will have to try your hand in workshops with experienced experts of local nationality. The castle will be decorated by paper princesses made by pupils of the Art School, Japanese traditional music will be played, and you will be able to try on kimono, visit Juris Presņikovs’s photographic studio and wave with your fan at a spring butterfly. The event will be hosted by a big paper doll In Neta.
Entrance fee: schoolchildren, students, retired persons Ls 0.75; adults Ls 1.50; family ticket Ls 2.50.
