The Earth Geology and Information Center (EGIC) offers visitors a wide range of geological exhibits showcasing Lithuania's geological diversity and natural resources. One of the key exhibits is the mechanized core storage, which holds 1,148 drill cores that reveal over 140 kilometers of geological data about Lithuania's subsurface. Another fascinating display is the glacial boulder exhibit, introducing the minerals that make up the boulders and the conditions under which they formed. The outdoor boulder exhibit, spread over 4.2 hectares, features more than 550 boulders collected from various

regions of Lithuania, classified by chemical composition and petrographic classification. Visitors can also explore the memorial exhibition dedicated to Juozas Dalinkevičius, which includes the academic's personal belongings, geological cross-sections, maps, and unique fossils from the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods. Additionally, the museum showcases Lithuania's collection of natural resources, the paleontological fossil collection of Alfonso Žukelis, and the rare minerals collection of Juozas Lisauskas, all of which reflect the history of nature and the evolution of life on Earth.
