The exhibition on the establishment of the collective farm provides a historical focus. Old radios and televisions from a private collection are also on display. Another exhibition features wooden horses from Voldemar Luht’s private collection. These subjects and objects offer different points of interest for a visit: you can explore the establishment of the collective farm or focus on the two collection areas.

The museum is housed in the basement of the Sakla Seltsimaja and is designed as a historical museum. This makes it possible to connect the exhibitions with the history of the building without conflating their different subjects: the collective farm exhibition covers its establishment, while the collections focus on specific objects.

The Seltsimaja was built in 1957 on the foundations of the house of Aleksander Mihkels. Mihkels was the leaseholder of the Uue-Lõve post station. It is important to note that 1957 is the year the Seltsimaja was built; the house is mentioned as the earlier building, but no construction year is given for it.

The complex also includes a village square with seating and a swing. Thus, the described site includes a square with places to sit in addition to the museum building. The museum and village square are distinct parts of the Seltsimaja complex.

Large spring clean-up work parties take place in Sakla every spring. Various handicraft techniques have also been presented at work parties in Sakla. The Saialaat is one of the village’s traditional events; a municipal cultural profile from 2015 identifies it as part of this tradition. If you would like to plan your visit around the Saialaat, confirm the event date in advance.

The Sakla association’s 2022 activity report mentions museum tours for travel groups. The same report also mentions various workshops on folk culture. As these details are from 2022, check with the association before making plans based on them to find out whether tours or workshops are currently available and where they take place.

The Kella Café is part of the Sakla Museum and is a seasonal café that is open during the summer season. Opening dates may vary, so check them before your visit. The activities therefore differ in their timing: the café is seasonal, while you should confirm the current availability of tours and workshops.
