After visiting the Kretinga Museum, I would like to share my impressions of this unique regional and cultural heritage-preserving facility. The museum, located in the historic Kretinga Manor Palace, impresses not only with its exhibits, but also with its surroundings – in a beautiful park with an astronomical calendar and a sundial. It is also interesting that the roots of the museum date back to the 19th century, when the first finds were collected by various enthusiasts. The first opening of the museum in 1935 and its subsequent expansion show the importance of this facility in the cultural and historical tradition of the region. When visiting the Kretinga Museum, one feels constant care and love not only for historical finds, but also for living culture. Today, the museum, through various educational and cultural activities, invites not only to get acquainted with the history of the region, but also to actively participate in modern creative activities. The winter garden, which grows about 600 species of plants from warm countries, adds another element of charm - it is a place where the past and the present come together in one space. Kretinga Museum is definitely worth a visit, not only for those interested in history, but also for everyone looking for cultural diversity and inspiration.

Kretingos Museum is a must-visit, especially for its beautiful Winter Garden! The garden is a lush, green oasis filled with exotic plants and flowers, making it a perfect escape, no matter the season. The tranquil sound of flowing water from the ponds adds to the serene atmosphere, and the variety of plants is truly impressive. You can easily spend hours here, just wandering through the greenery and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The museum itself is also fascinating, with exhibitions that give a great insight into the local history and culture. Highly recommend visiting, especially during the colder months, when the Winter Garden feels like a tropical retreat!

Sometimes it is hard to navigate to see all exposition. Also interactive pieces are broken or stuck (phone unplugged, puzzle with “ooops broken”, tablets with app crashed messages). But the winter garden is really beautiful. Worth a visit.

It is a Tishkevich property and a nice place to visit. Walking through the rooms of the castle, you will find a lot of historical items and paintings. Also, there is a winter garden with a pool with fish and turtles and a little café. Also, the territory around the museum is a beautiful park with some other little buildings, worth visiting.

Kretinga Manor was constructed in the 16th. The manor was later owned and controlled by the Chodkevičius, Sapiega, Masalskis, Potockis and Zubovas families. Manor has the ethnography, the archeology exhibit, the famous Winter Garden exhibit and the exhibit introducing the history and culture of the manor. Overall is impressive Winter Garden, it looks like tropic paradise. On the 2nd floor is avialable restaurant. Tickets costs 4eur per person. Free parking is located near the ticket office. Firstly need to buy tickets at the tickets office, it's small white building near the parking. Near the manor is located several hectars park.
