Come, Great Day, come,
All children await you,
All children await you,
Sitting behind the gates.

We offer an insight into the artistic design and themes of greeting cards as times and historical events have changed.

This Easter, you are welcome to download and print three different greeting cards. Color them with your children, either following the example of a historical card or letting your imagination run wild. We believe your loved ones or friends will be delighted to receive such a self-colored Easter greeting, either by mail or as a virtual greeting sent as a photo! We would be thrilled if you could also send your creative works to the museum virtually!

“OGRE KANGARI” HIKING TRAIL

We invite you to explore the hiking trail to better discover the hills of Ogre. View the photo gallery and read the story on the museum's website or Facebook page. By looking at historical images, you can compare how the city has changed over time. We have marked the route in the "BalticMaps" map browser. The “GPX” file is convenient to use with the LVM GEO mobile app. The total length of the hiking trail marked on the map is 14 kilometers (7 kilometers in Pārogre and 7 kilometers in Ogre center and Jaunogre). The hiking trail winds through both the urban part of the city (with asphalt, cobblestone, and gravel surfaces) and green areas (park paths and pedestrian-trodden forest trails without special amenities).
Everyone is also invited to complete a task — to solve a crossword puzzle. Its clues can be found in places along the hiking trail. The puzzle solution can be submitted in person at the museum or sent to the email address ogresmuzejs@ogresnovads.lv. Every solver will receive a small, museum-produced thematic souvenir — a calendar with an illustration of the Ogre Kangari hills (you will receive it upon arrival at the museum).
