Palanga Amber Museum, National amber museum in Palanga, Lithuania.
The Palanga Amber Museum is a natural history museum in Lithuania that focuses on displaying amber and holds over 28,000 pieces in its collections. The building itself is a 19th-century palace with multi-story rooms and decorative details shaped by its original inhabitants.
The museum was established in 1963 as an independent institution and expanded the presentation of amber collections that had previously been managed in other museums. Over the following decades, the collection grew steadily, making it one of Europe's most important repositories for amber specimens.
The collection is housed in a grand 19th-century palace that was built as a private residence for a wealthy family. The rooms and their original architecture create a setting that connects the amber pieces to their refined historical context.
The museum is housed in a multi-story palace, so exploring all exhibition rooms can be physically demanding. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and know that viewing the entire collection can easily take several hours.
One special attraction is a massive amber specimen that ranks among the largest natural pieces of its kind in Europe. This surprisingly heavy object is often overlooked by visitors despite being one of the most remarkable items on display.
