Akmeņrags Lighthouse and the fate of the "Saratov"

Excursion to Akmenrag lighthouse

It is possible to climb the Akmeņraga lighthouse via a spiral staircase. Climbing the lighthouse offers a fantastic view of the sea and surrounding forests. The lighthouse is the main ornament of Akmeņraga. In 2011, during the implementation of the project, the road to the Akmeņraga lighthouse was reconstructed. Far beyond the borders of Akmeņraga, information has spread about the unique collection of amber and stones collected by the lighthouse keeper.

Cold War Exposition

Excursion "Cold War Exposition in a different way"

Arm yourself with flashlights and get ready to get dirty! You will be given the opportunity to explore the most secret corners of the underground missile launch base and learn the history of this special facility. And where else is the opportunity to spend an hour in a space completely isolated from the outside world! There is no mobile connection, no internet, and the only source of light is a handheld flashlight. The body of those who got here shivers, and when listening to the stories and facts that happened here, the visitor feels a threat to all humanity...

Organized groups: with advance registration of adult groups, up to 30 participants.

Educational program "Games and discoveries at the rocket base"

Do you like history, are you interested in the Cold War period? Want an unconventional museum lesson? We offer such an opportunity at the Cold War exhibition. During the educational program, it will be possible to get acquainted with the historical period of the Cold War and the only operational underground missile launch base in Lithuania. During the education, the participants, divided into groups, perform a variety of tasks promoting active cognition: deciphering a coded secret combat signal, learning to properly put on a gas mask, and getting to know the environment through the senses (hearing, sight, smell and touch).

This education is a game full of interesting stories, tasks, new missions.

The program is intended for students in grades 6-7,
Group size: up to 30 people.
