Lithuanian Museum of Ethnocosmology, Space observatory and cultural museum in Kulionys, Lithuania.
The Lithuanian Museum of Ethnocosmology combines a modern astronomy center with exhibits demonstrating connections between humans and the cosmic world through multiple perspectives.
The museum opened in March 1990 near the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory after light pollution issues at the Vilnius facility prompted the search for a new location.
The museum exhibits display Lithuanian traditions related to celestial bodies through artifacts, calendars, meteorological instruments, and astronomical documentation from different periods.
The facility operates twenty-four hours daily, offering access to two telescopes for observing stars at night and specialized equipment for viewing solar activities during daytime.
Visitors begin their journey in underground galleries symbolizing cosmic world tree roots before ascending a 45-meter tower offering views across the surrounding lakes.
