ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPOSITION OF THE MAŽEIKIAI MUSEUM

Museums

The museum brings together a historical mix, where unique archaeological treasures of the Curonian, Semigallian and Samogitian tribes (found only in the Mažeikiai region) are displayed in a modern way. Here one will be able to unravel the mysteries of the development of the cultures of the Balts tribes and their interactions. The exhibition includes not only artefacts (Curonian, Semigallian and Samogitian jewellery, weapons), but also unique finds: zoomorphic figurines, amber articles, amulets, a wrought horn, a special helmet, and maps of the territories of the Balts tribes, burial sites, hillforts, and battle sites. This museum takes you back in time: replicas of artefacts enhance the knowledge of history and culture. Educational activities: “Getting to know the craft of bark craft”, “Balts tribes and archaeological finds”, “Balts jewellery”, “Creating metal jewellery and metal archaeology”.
