It is not common for visitors to visit museum depositories. During the renovation of the museum, a solution was found – a glass wall, behind which the exhibits of the depository can be seen by people. In addition, the museum’s restorer’s workshop became open to visitors. Educational programs take place here, during which it is possible to take a closer look at the restoration of wooden exhibits. Only available during tours.
After both world wars, the city of Tauragė remained especially devastated. The installation “Lost Tauragė” is located in the basement of the tower. Here, special attention is paid to imitating reality: the gloomy environment, the scattering of the wreckage of imitation weapons and the smoke of nitrogen make it feel as if you are hiding in a bunker and a war is going on above us.
Photography gallery is located in one of the towers of Tauragė Castle, which was started by the then museum photographer Romualdas Vaitkus. Since its establishment in 2003, the gallery has been organizing exhibitions of the most famous Lithuanian photographers, press photographers and local photographers. The gallery’s exposition is formed through two floors of the tower, where it is possible to exhibit 30-40 large-format works.
The diversity of the country’s nature is presented in the Nature Exposition, which is divided into six zones. Birds, mammals, live exotic and native fish, reflections of nature, invertebrate hut and recreation area.
