Lithuania
A simple, two-room museum on the upper floor of the Cultural Centre tells an incredible history: the forced deportation of Lithuanians to Siberia and the bravery of partisan fighters against Soviet rule. Items like fur-lined skis and ornaments carved during exile bring to life their stories of struggle.
The Cultural Center also hosts beautiful classical concerts during Druskininkai's Summer with MK Čiurlionis festival (mid-June to September).
