The exhibition "Mammals of Latvia" has been renovated

Displaying most of the mammals found in Latvia – a total of 83 taxidermy mounts (49 species) – the exhibition "Mammals of Latvia" has been completely renovated as part of a Cohesion Fund project. Many of the animals are on protected animal lists for Latvia and Europe.

For the first time, visitors can get a good look at the golden jackal, a new species of mammal occurring in Latvia (first recorded in 2013), as well as Latvia's largest and smallest mammals – the elk and the Eurasian pygmy shrew, respectively.
