Donelaitis Memorial Museum, Regional heritage museum in Chistye Prudy, Russia.

The Donelaitis Memorial Museum occupies a restored church building with stained glass windows showing scenes from Lithuanian literature and rural life. The structure holds manuscripts, household items, and documents spanning the poet's life and work.

The museum was founded in 1979 as a memorial to the Lithuanian poet. The poet's remains, discovered during archaeological work in 1967, were later reburied within a crypt beneath the building.

The museum honors Kristijonas Donelaitis, a Lithuanian poet whose work shaped regional literature and thought. Visitors encounter his personal belongings and writings that reveal how he lived and worked in this community.

The museum is located in the Kaliningrad region and is accessible by car or public transportation. Visitors should plan for about 1 to 2 hours to explore the collection at a comfortable pace.

The museum complex includes the original rectory where the poet spent much of his life working on his celebrated literary works. This building offers insight into his daily surroundings and creative routine.
