Ethnocosmology – links with the cosmic world

During the daytime programme (guided tour), visitors ascend through the museum’s underground gallery. Across seven exhibition spaces, different aspects of the relationship between humans, humanity, and the Cosmic World are presented: ancient cultural connections with the sky, measurements of the world, calendars, astronomy, cosmonautics, the search for extraterrestrial life, and possible futures of our civilisation. The museum exhibition is continuously updated and expanded, and experienced guides help visitors sense the uniqueness of the Museum of Ethnocosmology and the diversity of human connections with the cosmos.

During the tour, visitors encounter remarkable exhibits, including replicas of the first Lithuanian satellites LituanicaSat-1 and LitSat-1, rare meteorites, and traditional Lithuanian household artefacts. The tour also introduces astronomical research, current space developments, and Lithuanian achievements in the space sector.

The exhibition is arranged across seven separate halls, each dedicated to one of these themes. The narrative unfolds in a coherent and engaging way, offering not only introductory knowledge but also a deeper understanding of celestial objects and their significance.

The tour also includes an ascent to the observation deck at a height of 32 metres, offering a panoramic view of Labanoras Regional Park.
