Tour to The Open Air Museum of Lithuania

The Open Air Museum of Lithuania in Rumšiškės is situated 80 km northwest from Vilnius.
The core exhibits of this Museum include dwelling houses, farmstead buildings and folk art monuments transferred from all ethnographic regions of Lithuania - Aukštaitija, Žemaitija, Suvalkija and Dzūkija, and reassembled in a 175-ha area, in a beautiful location near the Kaunas Man-made Sea and Praviena rivulet.

Some of the buildings were constructed 200 years ago and earlier. They acquaint visitors with the mode of life as well as housing construction and equipment techniques of people during various periods. 140 buildings are exposed as farmsteads and villages, while the town buildings are grouped around a square. The farmsteads show fences, draw-wells, gardens or parterres. The majority of interior expositions display restored household articles and furniture, cloths, kitchen utensils and tools typical to one or other period.
The Museum also invites to active expositions where weavers, wood carvers, potters and other craftsmen show their work.
