Lithuanian Ethnocosmology Museum

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

This unusual museum explores the cosmos’s connection to cultural ideas of hell, heaven and earth in its bubble-shaped exhibition centre. Dwarfing it are two observation towers housing telescopes providing outstanding views of the surrounding lakeland. Night tours with English-speaking guides, two hours after sunset, can be arranged in advance, and involve peeking through the telescopes. Note that tour schedules are shortened between October and April.

Catch a Molėtai-Utena bus, then walk 4km from the ‘etnokosmologijos muziejus’ turn-off.
