Landscape and Architecture: Cultural heritage and current treasures in the most beautiful parts of Lithuania

The Landscape's Development Fort-hills and Castles Cities and Towns National Parks Neringa City Parks and Estates Engineered Structures Health Resorts' Architecture

Lithuania's landscape, through a thousand years of human settlement and endeavor, has been transformed, from a "natural" to a modified, cultivated state.
Man's activity, however, did not merely exploit or "impoverish" the land, but enriched it as well, most visibly through architectural works. This is recognized and broadly displayed within our exhibit, from ethnic farmsteads or villages, fort-hills and castles, to positive examples of the most important resort and tourism zones, as well as representations of landscape architecture - the art inherent in national and regional parks and their management. Even the beauty of nature can be a category of culture, understandable only by man. Our exposition will show how our cultural heritage and esthetic potential is implemented in our current cultural works, and otherwise.
