Amber museum - Tiskevicius Estate by vysnaite
If you asked me what's my favorite and the most interesting museum in Lithuania I'd say: Amber museum in Palanga. It does not taste like a boring museum and it's stunning. First: it's in a botanical park, second- It's in the estate of 19th century, third - it houses the biggest collection of amber in the Baltic (25.000 pieces, 15.000 of which with insects trapped inside), fourth - the biggest collection of incluzes (insects from pre historical time tucked in amber, while it was still hot and before it went to the see). fifth-It's in awesome botanical park with swans, lovely landscapes, pools.Botanical park was designed by French landscape artist Edward Andre' in the 19th century. Statue of Christ in front of the mansion house (where is amber museum now) was replaced in 1993. Gardens and this estate was one of the most famous and the best even among French estate gardens in 19th century. I love this place .. Behind the museum is a rose garden. further Birute hill.
