Lithuania is located on the Baltic Sea. The museum is dedicated to commemorating Lithuania’s history, culture, and heritage.

In the Middle Ages, Lithuania was the largest principality in Europe, known as the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, extending from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and to within 100 miles of Moscow. Lithuanians were the last Pagans to be converted to Christianity in Europe, and to this day Lithuania is a fascinating blend of Paganism and Christianity.

A member of the European Union, Lithuania joins the world community with achievements in technologies, the arts, music, and sports while continuing to honor, perform, and teach traditional arts such as weaving, woodcarving, blacksmithing, and folk dance and song.

The seasonal Little Lithuanian Art Gallery is now open.

Among many original items such as national costumes, crafts, refugee relics, it contains original paintings by diaspora artists and others.

We welcome presentations by historians and other distinguished individuals, such as "The Baltic Canary" featured in August 2024. Suggestions for presentations are welcome, please email svworthington@alaska.edu or use the contact form.
