NERINGA
Sea Museum-Aquarium, Dolphinarium
The Lithuanian Sea Museum is located in Kopgalis, the northernmost point of the Curonian Spit. At the end of World War II the fortress was partially destroyed (the central redoubt blown up), and for a long time it was not used. Following the restoration and reconstruction of the fortress in 1979, the main exhibits of the Lithuanian Sea Museum were put on display there. In 1994 a dolphinarium was opened, the last item in the Lithuanian Sea Museum complex, which covers all areas of human relations with the sea. The comprehensive approach makes our museum different from other Sea museums of Europe.

Thomas Mann culture center
In 1929–1930, the family of Thomas Mann built a cottage on the Mother-in-Law Hill and they used to spend their summers during the period from 1930 to 1932. Here T. Mann was writing his novel „Juozapas ir jo broliai“ (Juozapas and His Brothers). After the World War II the building was standing abandoned for a while. In 1967, the athenaeum and the memorial exposition of the writer were opened in this house. In 1995–1996, the summerhouse was restored, financed by the Lithuanian and German Governments, in 1996, the memorial museum was opened there, later – the non-profit seeking organization Thomas Mann Cultural Center.
