Palanga Amber Museum

The Palanga Amber Museum displays 28,000 pieces of amber, including 15,000 specimens with preserved insects, spiders, and plants inside the Tiškevičiai Palace building.

The museum opened on August 3, 1963, as a section of the Lithuanian Museum of Fine Arts with an initial collection of 480 amber artifacts.

Lithuanian legends connect to amber through the tale of Jūratė and Kastytis, which narrates the story of an amber palace destroyed by Perkūnas.

The museum operates from Tuesday to Saturday with extended summer hours from June through August, offering guided tours and explanations about amber formation.

The Sun Stone, weighing 3,526 grams, stands as Europe's third largest amber specimen and represents a central piece in the museum's collection.
