Pamario g. 20, Nida

Visitors to the museum can independently explore the outdoor exhibition and travel along a section of the Amber Road, which starts from the Baltic Sea and stretches across Europe to the Etruscan lands in Italy. An equally interesting activity is the introduction to the ancient workshops, showcasing how amber is processed and the tools used (visitors can even try their hand at becoming amber "masters" and create their own luck-bringing amulet). The museum features an impressive collection of inclusions, amulets from the Juodkrantė treasure, and information about amber morphology. During the summer, artists visit the nearby Artists' House, providing a great opportunity to observe

their creative process and attend organized exhibitions. Visitors are given guided tours (available in English, German, and Russian) about the history of Baltic amber. The guides explain how amber, known as Lithuania's gold, was formed, its inclusions, morphology, and color diversity. Those interested can learn about the ancient and modern methods of amber extraction and get answers to the frequently asked question – how to verify if amber is genuine or not. For the curious, there is a machine that generates energy from amber, and visitors can even sample "Amber Liqueur." The gallery-museum invites guests to view and purchase works by various Lithuanian artists.
