Balts’ Road Museum in Šiauliai

Opened in 2021, this museum is the first in Lithuania and Latvia dedicated specifically to exploring the culture, history, and lifestyle of the original Indo-European people who settled in what is now the territory of these two countries. Through interactive exhibits designed to bring the period to life, families can explore the rich history and legacy of the tribe that first called Lithuania its home. For example, the interactive game “Balts’ professions” gives visitors the chance to learn firsthand what the life of a traditional spinner, weaver, soldier or fisherman was really like. And with more such games, as well as other exhibits intended to stimulate all the visitors' senses, it’s possible to really get to grips with the deep and rich legacy of the Balts.
