A walk in the village with several stops to see things and to eat other things was a very relaxing and refreshing experience in the beautiful and tranquill island of Muhu. Highly recommended. I'd definitely return to see more nooks and nice views.

A perfect place to visit if you have interest to see how people have lived in small villages for hundreds of years. Extra value (not sure if for those who have no touch with these books) comes from the exhibition of Juhan Smuul - a famous Estonian writer lived and worked there. The exhibition was very interesting (but not for kids).
P.S. Most of houses in the village are still in use thus try not to get lost in somebody's garden and disturb their lunch etc - this is not a part of the exhibition :)
The was a traditional fishing village that has been turned into a museum. When you enter there are information sheets in a variety of languages (including English, German, and Russian - maybe more) that give a brief overview of each building you can enter. There are a variety of farm, school room and housing buildings. The museums buildings are in an area in a neighborhood that also has locals current homes, so be sure you follow the directions and map. Very nice collection of Island embroidery and costumes in one building with examples from several different islands showing both the different embroidery designs and woven patterns for the clothing too.
The well kept houses vividly tell the visitor how it was to live in harsh rural conditions. The embroidery museum is simply a must.
Very interesting village museum and nearby a beautiful old harbor with camping and a nice bistro. Really relaxing.
