Get to know the mysterious water world!
With this resounding slogan, the Lithuanian Sea Museum invites visitors to visit the continuously enriched and carefully cherished expositions of marine nature and history, and to attend dolphin shows and various special occasions and events.
The Lithuanian Sea Museum is a republican museum, a state budget institution under the authority of the Ministry of Culture. The Museum is situated in Kopgalis, the northernmost end of the range of dunes of the Curonian Spit, where the Curonian Spit peninsula, stretching for 98 km, ends and Klaipėda Seaport gate opens up. In the late 19th century, the Nerija fort was constructed in Kopgalis, which was almost entirely demolished during World War II. In 1979, the Nerija fort was restored and adapted for the needs of the Museum.
The Museum collects, keeps, explores, preserves, restores and promotes museum valuables reflecting the history of navigation of Lithuania and the diversity of marine nature. Diverse expositions are arranged using the state-of-art technologies and modern ways of conveying information. Thus multifunctional educational and research activities are developed more actively.
