Amber Museum [Gintaro Muziejus]

Amber Museum
Situated inside the fabulous 19th-century neo-Classical former mansion of Count Tiškevičius (Pol. Tyszkiewicz), this exemplary museum holds some 25,000 pieces of amber of which over half have animals and plants trapped inside. Telling the fascinating story of Baltic Gold, this is a wonderful place to spend an hour in and is highly recommended for keeping children entertained. The back of the mansion features a famous rose garden, and the mansion itself also hosts the occasional concert and recital.

Admission 8/4Lt.

    This museum was interesting even to an amber ingrate like myself. Lots of big, interesting chunks of the peculiar rock. Good postcard selection at the gift desk, too. Take a walk behind the palace through the park down to the coast line and avoid the tacky Palanga bathing crowd on the beaches nearer town.
