Neringa History Museum
Neringos istorijos muziejus
A small local history museum in Nida village that tells the story of the Spit's fishermen, the traditional crow-hunting custom and the villages buried by moving sand.
The exhibits include traditional fishing gear, ice-fishing tools, fishermen's clothing, old photographs and records of villages buried as the dunes moved. It also explains the unusual local custom of catching crows in winter for food. The museum is not large, and you can see it in about half an hour. It is a good introduction to the cultural background of the Spit. Admission costs a few euros, and opening hours are shorter in the off-season.
Opening hours
Summer 10:00–18:00; closed Mondays in other seasons
