2

The park is situated within the grounds of the Palanga Amber Museum, formerly the Tiškevičiai Palace.

3

Many of the works were commissioned or selected to reflect themes of Baltic mythology and human connection to nature.

4

The park serves as a transition zone between the formal landscape of the Amber Museum gardens and the wilder coastal dune forest.

5

Maintenance of the collection requires specialized care due to the high salt content in the coastal air, which can accelerate the corrosion of metal pieces.

Overview

The Palanga Sculpture Park serves as an open-air museum located within the historic Birutė Park grounds. It features a collection of works by prominent Lithuanian sculptors, many of which were created during international symposia held in Palanga. The sculptures are integrated into the natural landscape, focusing on abstract and figurative forms. Established in the late 20th century, the park preserves a significant archive of contemporary Baltic artistic heritage. Visitors can observe how the Baltic climate and surrounding forest elements interact with the stone and metal materials of the artworks.

Insider tips

Bring insect repellent, as the park's proximity to the forest and Baltic wetlands can result in high mosquito activity.

Combine your visit with the adjacent Amber Museum, which is located in the same park complex.

Walk the gravel paths carefully after rain, as some areas near the sculptural installations can become muddy.

What to avoid

Do not mistake the public park area for a restricted gallery space; remember it is an open, unprotected environment.

Etiquette

Stay on marked gravel paths to protect the surrounding park vegetation and avoid touching sculptures made of sensitive materials.
