Finno-Ugric Wheel Brought Together Culture and Traditions of Different Peoples

On May 16, 2026, the cultural event "Soome-ugri ratas 2026" took place in Narva near the MotoNurk motorcycle museum, introducing the public to the songs, dances, folk games, crafts and culinary traditions of the Finno-Ugric peoples. The six-hour program took place on the historic Gloria bastion, between the MotoNurk museum and the Narva Art Gallery, and was part of the nationwide Museum Night celebration.
The event aimed to show that Virumaa's folk culture belongs to a broader Finno-Ugric cultural space, whose peoples are united by historical roots, traditions and ways of cultural expression.

Museum Night 2026 at MotoNurk Was a Success!

Retro & Custom Show 2023

The shine of chrome, the roar of engines, and the retro atmosphere! In Narva, a new event made its debut - Retro & Custom Show. This event became a true celebration for all fans of retro vehicles and custom style. The esteemed motorcycle club Magnum MC Narva, with extensive experience in organizing motor events, acted as the organizer. The former workshops of a freshly renovated furniture factory provided the perfect venue for the event, creating a unique atmosphere and embodying the spirit of retro. On-site, there were fascinating workshops, live music, and even a tattoo salon and a barber, taking care of the style and appearance of the visitors. Special thanks to Magnum's chefs for their culinary magic!

The opening of the MotoNurk motorcycle museum took place during the Night of Museums.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who visited the opening of our MotoNurk motorcycle museum. Thank you for your support and kind words that we continue to receive from you.
The opening day was magnificent! In the first hour alone, the museum was visited by about 100 people, and we were pleasantly surprised by such immense interest. We were delighted to see so many individuals eager to delve into the history of motorcycle technology and get acquainted with it up close.
