Fodor's Expert Review Palanga Amber Museum

Lithuania

This is one of Palanga’s best-known sights and one of the most visited museums in the country. It displays approximately 4,500 amber objects (from a total of 28,000 pieces), as well as information about the trade routes, formation, extraction, and processing of amber. The museum is housed in a beautiful early 20th-century mansion that once belonged to Count Feliksas Tiskevicius, whose family has played a major role in Palanga's development. In addition to the actual amber exhibition (as well as changing exhibits), you can tour beautiful period interiors on the ground floor
