Information about the museum
With this resounding slogan, the Lithuanian Sea Museum invites visitors to visit the continuously enriched and carefully cherished exhibitions 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. Lithuanian Sea Museum is located in Kopgalis, in the northernmost point of the Curonian Spit, where the 98 km long peninsula of the Curonian Spit ends and the gates of Klaipėda Port open. In the second half of the 19th century, a defensive fortress in Kopgalis was built, which was almost destroyed during World War II. In 1979 it was rebuilt and adapted to the needs of the museum.
The museum collects, preserves, researches, restores and promotes museum treasures that reflect the maritime history of Lithuania and the diversity of marine nature. Multiple exposures use the latest technologies to convey information. This enables the development of multifunctional educational, scientific research and project activities.
