Lithuanian Sea Museum, Maritime heritage museum in Klaipeda, Lithuania.
The Lithuanian Sea Museum occupies a former military fort and presents collections about marine life, ships, and Baltic Sea ecosystems. The building houses an aquarium, dolphinarium, and outdoor exhibits that showcase different aspects of marine environments.
The museum was founded in 1979, growing from a maritime department established in 1967 at the Klaipėda Region Museum. It gathers objects related to shipping history and Lithuania's long relationship with the sea.
The museum displays traditional fishing tools and everyday items from seafarers, showing how central the sea has been to Lithuanian life. You can see how people here have worked with the water across generations.
The site includes different areas with varied features: indoor exhibits, an aquarium with marine animals, and outdoor sections to explore. Access is limited in parts of the historic building, so it helps to allow time for different sections.
The museum works with living marine animals such as dolphins, kept in special pools under strict care requirements. These living collections make it more than just a display of artifacts.
