Brief History

The museum is located in Vilnius Old Town on Šv. Mykolo Street and was established in 1988 by Virginija and Kazimieras Mizgiriai, designers Jonas Gerulaitis and Audrius Klimas, archaeologist Gediminas Gendrėnas and others. The Amber Museum-Gallery will introduce the history of Baltic amber, its use in all periods of history, and amber morphology.

The museum exhibit includes a unique collection of inclusions and a reconstruction of the treasure of Juodkrantė. Museum staff will invite you to visit the basements where the ceramic scorching workshop with authentic pieces was established at the end of the 15^th century. Exhibitions organised by artists can also be viewed and visitors can purchase contemporary and classic design jewellery at the museum.
