Om
Raske fakta: Innlosjert i et slående nygotisk palass fra 1800-tallet, vokter dette museet over 180 000 gjenstander av litauisk folkekunst. Samlingen spenner over tre- og keramikkskulpturer, tekstiler og bemalt møbler som sporer landsbylivet fra 1500-tallet til tidlig 1900-tall.
Høydepunkter: Tre massive, intrikat utskårne altertavler i tre fra 1700-tallet dominerer hovedsalen, hver veier over to tonn og malt i levende koboltblått og vermilionrødt. Se nøye på de minste folkekorsene som er utstilt: noen måler bare 15 centimeter i høyden, men bærer over 40 distinkte miniatyrutskjæringer.
Insidertips
- Skip the audio guide and ask at the front desk if a staff member can point out the 17th-century 'devil trap' cross in Room 4, they love telling that story.
- The textile gallery on the second floor has a low-light photography restriction, but the wooden sculpture hall allows flash-free photos.
- Wear comfortable shoes: the original hardwood floors creak beautifully but several staircases have uneven 18th-century steps.
- Arrive by 11 AM on Saturdays to catch the free 20-minute folk instrument demonstration in the basement workshop.
