Česnulis Sculpture Park

Odd mixture of natural history museum, woodland park, and witch & goblin kitsch.

Lithuania was dotted with Soviet monuments until 1989, when many were scrapped but some found their way to this forest park. Nice idea spoiled by the mini-zoo, where dirty cramped conditions for the animals punctures the liberation rhetoric of the park museum.

Compact museum of town life in a neoclassical villa built 1905-09. Concerts and similar events are also staged here.

Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis (1875-1911) was a prolific composer, painter and writer, primarily in Polish. He was born in Senoji Varėna; when he was 3 the family moved to Druskininkai where his musical talent was soon noticed. He worked mostly in Leipzig and Warsaw but returned here shortly after his marriage; then he died of pneumonia aged 35. The museum displays his life and legacy, while several of his paintings are in J K Jonyno Gallery adjacent; there's a larger collection in Kaunas.

Documents, photos and artefacts from 20th century oppressions.
