Kretingos muziejus

After visiting the Kretinga Museum, I would like to share my impressions of this unique regional and cultural heritage-preserving facility. The museum, located in the historic Kretinga Manor Palace, impresses not only with its exhibits, but also with its surroundings – in a beautiful park with an astronomical calendar and a sundial. It is also interesting that the roots of the museum date back to the 19th century, when the first finds were collected by various enthusiasts. The first opening of the museum in 1935 and its subsequent expansion show the importance of this facility in the cultural and historical tradition of the region. When visiting the Kretinga Museum, one feels constant care and love not only for historical finds, but also for living culture. Today, the museum, through various educational and cultural activities, invites not only to get acquainted with the history of the region, but also to actively participate in modern creative activities. The winter garden, which grows about 600 species of plants from warm countries, adds another element of charm - it is a place where the past and the present come together in one space. Kretinga Museum is definitely worth a visit, not only for those interested in history, but also for everyone looking for cultural diversity and inspiration.

Lovely museum and winter garden. Makes a very enjoyable morning or afternoon out when the weather isn't so good.

Kind of stuffy, restaurant in the winter garden, very beautiful

Kretinga Manor was constructed in the 16th. The manor was later owned and controlled by the Chodkevičius, Sapiega, Masalskis, Potockis and Zubovas families. Manor has the ethnography, the archeology exhibit, the famous Winter Garden exhibit and the exhibit introducing the history and culture of the manor. Overall is impressive Winter Garden, it looks like tropic paradise. On the 2nd floor is avialable restaurant. Tickets costs 4eur per person. Free parking is located near the ticket office. Firstly need to buy tickets at the tickets office, it's small white building near the parking. Near the manor is located several hectars park.

One of the key manors in western Lithuania, built in XIX century. Make sense to visit if you are splashing on the Baltic coast nearby. It also contains a winter garden, a rarity in Lithuanian manors.

They have a great selection of exhibitions on the site. Have a great botanical garden inside, but unfortunately it's now under reconstruction. But there was interesting native people history with interesting infographics and it's quite beautiful historical bracelets and body pendants and etc.

was interesting, liked it, beautiful paintings and items. I reccommend visiting this place if you're in Kretinga.

Nice exci option, buildings are renovated but still so authentic. And the wintergarder is just fantastic. It's possible to have lunch or dinner there.
