Antano Mončio namai-muziejus
A museum of works by Lithuanian sculptor Mončys, who lived in Paris; visitors are specially invited to touch the wooden sculptures.
Antanas Mončys (1921–1993) was a modern Lithuanian sculptor who lived for many years in Paris. He wished for people to be able to touch his works. The museum occupies an old wooden house in Palanga and displays his wood carvings, collages, and masks, encouraging visitors to feel them with their hands.
