Excursions

During the daytime program (tour), visitors ascend through the museum’s underground gallery. Seven distinct spaces present various connections between humans and humanity and the Cosmic World: ancient ethnic ties, world measurements, calendars, astronomy, cosmonautics, the search for extraterrestrial life, and the future possibilities of our civilization. The museum’s exhibition is constantly updated or changed, so our tour guides will help you better experience the uniqueness of the Ethnocosmology Museum and the diversity of its connections with the Cosmic World. During the tour, you will not only get acquainted with unique exhibits – copies of the first Lithuanian satellites LituanicaSat-1 and LitSat-1, an exceptional meteorite, or traditional Lithuanian household items – but also have the opportunity to learn about astronomical research, space news, and Lithuanian achievements in space. The exhibition is arranged in seven separate halls, each revealing the aforementioned themes. The narrative is coherent, engaging, and provides not only superficial knowledge but also a deeper understanding of celestial objects and their significance. The tour also includes an ascent to the observation deck, located 32 meters high, which offers a panoramic view of the Labanoras Regional Park. The tour duration is up to 1.5 hours, and there are stairs in the exhibition. If stairs may pose a challenge for you, please contact us at tel. no. +37061520688, and we will help you find a suitable solution for visiting the museum. All tours at the museum are conducted with guides, so we invite you to plan your visit in advance and register, as the number of places in groups is limited. Tours can also be conducted in English and Russian; for these, please inquire at least a few days before planning your museum visit.

As the museum ascends to the Kilus Lake, visitors will be greeted by a unique panorama of the landscape – a vast forest, sparkling expanses and a peaceful hilly landscape, the view of which is simply breathtaking. This place is not only a powerful visual experience, but also an opportunity to look at nature as a mirror of our culture. During the tour, you will be accompanied by an experienced tour guide, whose stories bring the landscape to life – the visible objects, the history of the surrounding areas, and natural and cultural highlights are presented in detail. This is not only a physical ascent to the height, but also a journey through time and the worldview of the nation. One of the most striking highlights of the tours is the opportunity to see the calendar stone circle “Lithuanian Sun” from a bird’s eye view. This is an impressive stone disk with a diameter of 30 meters with eight rays, symbolizing the countries of the world and the directions of the Sun’s rise and set during the equinoxes and solstices.The large stones were brought to this circle from all counties of Lithuania, thus signifying the symbolic participation of the entire country in this cosmic composition. Next to the stone “Sun”, models of the planets of our Solar System are also placed, forming a single educational picture in which the mythology of the Earth, astronomy and the flow of nature meet. This is a unique place, a great place to immerse yourself in the human connection with the Universe – both through cultural roots and through the modern scientific gaze.
