Sõru Museum

Western Estonia & the Islands


Just inland from Sõru sadam (port) where the ferry to Saaremaa docks, this little community museum is worth a look. Downstairs you might find art from the village schoolkids or locally made feltwork, while upstairs there's a permanent display containing the usual black-and-white photos of fisherfolk and farmers, interspersed with old nets, shipping charts and tools. At the very top you can scan the horizon on a heavy-duty set of Soviet border-guard binoculars.
