The Lithuanian Ethnocosmology Museum is a unique museum in the world, standing on Kulionys Hill in the Moletai district, one of the darkest places in Lithuania, ideally suited for astronomical observations. The museum combines two perspectives – scientific and ethnocultural – on the human relationship with the cosmos. The exhibition presents astronomical instruments, space research achievements, and ancient Baltic cosmological traditions. The observatory houses one of the largest telescopes in Northern Europe, through which visitors can observe celestial bodies. The futuristic two-tower building is an architectural landmark of Aukstaitija. The museum organizes night tours, astronomy camps, and science popularization events.
