Anna – Poland

The entrance to the House of the Black Heads Museum is a great experience – the richly decorated interior and fascinating history of the brotherhood are impressive from the start. A welcome shot of Latvian balsam adds a local touch and makes the visit even more memorable. Short, interesting, and full of character – definitely worth it!
