Aprox. month ago me and my family went to a small tank museum here, in Latvia. There are exposed some tanks, guns, armored vehicles. All of them looks in excelent condition.
There's some photos:

Eddyk, Amazing but it does raise the question why have we never heard of it before, more information please old friend, I saw a great program recently on the countries around the Baltic and this would help to make a nice holiday even better. shaun

There's some info:
http://sventehotel.lv/eng/museum/

But they don't say in this article, that they have some more tanks as StugIII etc.
People says that owner is great fan of the tanks. And he has a T34 to drive near fields. This T34 was in the Polish series movie "Four tankers and a dog":
