Kretinga Museum, City museum in Kretinga, Lithuania
The Kretinga Museum occupies a former palace complex featuring multiple exhibition halls, an orangery with fountains, and extensive gardens spanning several acres.
The museum started in 1935 as a collection of archaeological findings, later moving to the Tyszkiewicz family palace in 1992 after Lithuania regained independence.
The exhibition halls display Lithuanian folk art, traditional textiles, household items, and historical artifacts that represent the regional heritage of Kretinga.
Visitors can observe canaries, turtles, and Japanese carps in the Winter Garden while exploring seven halls containing the Tyszkiewicz family collection.
The museum maintains an astronomical calendar with a sun clock in its outdoor area, connecting modern visitors to ancient Baltic timekeeping methods.
