Did Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis ever visit Palanga?

And if he did—what might he have done here? Curious? A new educational activity at the Palanga Amber Museum will answer these questions and immerse you in the atmosphere that once sparked the imagination of this artistic genius.

Surrounded by the peaceful landscape of the park, we will read letters written by M. K. Čiurlionis to his fiancée Sofija Kymantaitė (Zo) in 1908, as he traveled to Palanga to meet her. We will explore their reflections on the sea—after all, it was on Birutė Hill that Sofija composed a poetic essay. You’ll learn what the element of water meant to Čiurlionis himself, and recall their joint artistic creation: the opera “Jūratė.” We will also explore how people expressed affection at the time by learning historic forms of address and endearing expressions. And perhaps, as you walk through the park, you’ll discover a special flower intertwined in this story of love and creativity?

After the discussion in the park, we’ll invite you to take part in the creative workshop “Waves of the Sea.” Using monotype, a printing technique that originated in 17th-century Italy and remains popular today, we will dive into the world of sea-wave fantasy. In these flowing forms, you might spot clouds, angels, ships, or fish. Inspired by Čiurlionis’ mystical and unexpected color harmonies, we will create miniature postcard artworks, filled with imagination and wonder.
