Did Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis ever visit Palanga? If he did, what could he have done there? Curious? The new educational activity of the Palanga Amber Museum will dispel any doubts and allow you to experience the atmosphere that awakened the creative imagination of the genius.

In the park, we will read M. K. Čiurlionis's letters that he wrote to his fiancée Sofija Kymantaitė (Zo) in 1908, when he came to meet her in Palanga. We will learn about their thoughts on the sea (S. Kymantaitė wrote an essay while sitting on Birutė Hill!). We will find out what the water element meant to M. K. Čiurlionis. We will also recall their joint work - the opera "Jūratė". We will learn the appeals and gracious words of the time. Perhaps you will also discover a special flower in the park that is embedded in this story?

After the talk in the park, we will invite you to the creative activity "Waves of the Sea". During this workshop, we will be transported into the fantasy of the waves of the sea, using monotype, a printmaking technique that originated in Italy in the 17th century and is still popular today. You may recognise clouds, angels, ships, fish. We will create miniature postcards with artfully mysterious and unexpected colour combinations.
