Thomas Mann Cultural Centre
Thomo Manno memorialinis muziejus
The summer villa of Nobel Prize-winning author Thomas Mann from 1930 to 1932, set on a high slope overlooking the lagoon.
After visiting Nida in 1929, Thomas Mann fell in love with the landscape. He used his Nobel Prize money to build this blue-roofed reed house, where he wrote the novel Joseph and His Brothers. It is now a memorial museum, displaying the writer's life and photographs from that time. The Thomas Mann Cultural Festival is held here in summer. The high slope behind the house is known as the "Italian View" and overlooks the lagoon. Admission costs a few euros. In winter the museum is closed on Mondays or has shorter opening hours.
Opening hours
Summer 10:00–18:00; shorter hours in other seasons
