Lithuanian Museums & Galleries

Lithuania’s museums offer a journey through Baltic history, from the Gothic House of Perkūnas and the Neoclassical Palanga Amber Museum to sobering Soviet-era sites like the Ninth Fort and the Atomic Bunker. Specialized collections include the Museum of Ethnocosmology, the unique Cat Museum in Šiauliai, and the secret underground 'ab' printing house. Visitors can explore traditional wooden architecture in Stelmužė, regional heritage in Kėdainiai and Utena, and the history of Lithuanian sports and medicine in Kaunas.
