Open-Air Museum of Lithuania (Rumšiškės)
Lietuvos liaudies buities muziejus
One of Europe’s largest open-air museums, bringing together traditional villages from Lithuania’s four ethnographic regions.
Located on the shore of the Kaunas Reservoir about 25 km east of Kaunas, the roughly 195-hectare site has relocated more than 140 farmhouses, windmills, churches and small-town streets dating from the 18th to 20th centuries. They are arranged by Lithuania’s four ethnographic regions, and visitors can step inside to see traditional furniture and crafts. Folk performances and craft workshops take place on holidays and at other times. The park is large, so allow half a day and wear comfortable shoes. Visit by car, or take a long-distance bus toward Vilnius from Kaunas. Most buildings are closed in winter.
Opening hours
Approx. late April–October, 10:00–18:00
