O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Ta muzej, nameščen v osupljivi neogotski palači iz 19. stoletja, hrani več kot 180.000 predmetov litovske ljudske umetnosti. Njegova zbirka obsega lesene in keramične skulpture, tekstil in poslikano pohištvo, ki prikazujejo podeželsko življenje od 16. stoletja do zgodnjih 1900-ih.

Poudarki: Trije ogromni, zapleteno izrezljani leseni oltarji iz 18. stoletja prevladujejo v glavni dvorani, vsak tehta več kot dve toni in je poslikan v živo kobaltno modri in vermilion rdeči barvi. Pozorno si oglejte najmanjše ljudske križe na ogled: nekateri merijo komaj šest centimetrov v višino, vendar nosijo več kot 40 drobnih miniaturnih rezbarij.

Notranji nasveti

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.
