Have you ever wondered what kind of world M. K. Čiurlionis saw? Which places inspired his mystical paintings and unique music? Where did his childhood unfold? Where did he meet his wife and spend the most creative years of his life?

“Čiurlionis Trail” is not only a route through the most important places of the artist’s life, but also a journey into the world of his creativity, where nature becomes a symphony and landscapes turn into a fairy tale. It is an invitation to travel, to discover, and to experience Lithuania through the legacy of one of the country’s most outstanding artists.

The excursion “Čiurlionis Trail: Druskininkai Route” invites you to discover Druskininkai and the story of Čiurlionis hidden within it.

Druskininkai is one of the most famous resorts in Lithuania, which grew on the banks of the Nemunas River from a natural mineral spring spa. By the end of the 19th century, the town was already renowned as a leisure destination for aristocrats: sanatoriums were operating, concerts were held, and cultural life blossomed amidst the pine forests. Today Druskininkai is not only a wellness center, but also a modern cultural hub with museums, art spaces, and active tourism.

Druskininkai became Čiurlionis’ childhood home. Here he attended elementary school, learned to play the piano and organ, and drew. The tranquility of the town, the pine forests, and the closeness of the Nemunas had a lasting impact on his inner world. As an adult, Čiurlionis often returned to Druskininkai—not only to visit his family, but also to seek the inner silence that helped him focus on his art. For him, this town remained precious as a place of childhood memories, nature, and spiritual contemplation.
