Amber Gallery-Museum, Nida

The Amber Gallery-Museum in Nida is an art museum dedicated to amber that displays raw specimens, ancient objects, and contemporary jewelry created by Lithuanian artisans. The collection brings together archaeological discoveries with modern craftwork spanning different periods.

The place is linked to the discovery of large quantities of amber found here in the mid-1800s, dating back to prehistoric times. These finds form the foundation of today's collection and document the long connection between amber and this coastal region.

The place shows how amber has been a valued material for people in this region for thousands of years. Visitors can observe how craftspeople work with it and understand its ongoing importance to local identity.

Visitors can join workshops to learn traditional amber processing and create personal objects using authentic tools. It is worth checking in advance whether such activities are available on the day of your visit.

A piece of amber in the museum weighs several kilograms and can be touched by visitors, offering a rare chance to feel the scale and weight of this material. Some displays also contain tiny organisms from prehistoric times trapped within the material.
