Kretingos muziejus submitted by Alta-Falisa : Façade of the museum. June 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Kretingos muziejus (Museum of Kretinga, Lithuania).

Kretingos muziejus (Museum of Kretinga) preserves canvas, furniture, painted wooden sculptures, "chinas", numismatics, and a large archaeological section in the basement.
The museum is housed in the former Castle of Kretinga, also famous for its Winter Garden and, I swear it, a cafeteria where you can indulge in delicacies and all sorts of Delicatessen.
The coordinates correspond to the foot of the entrance stair (on the right of the photo).
The car park and the ticket office are on the other side of the road.

The Duchy of Courland spread over the Western parts of today's Lithuania and Latvia. Photo taken on an overcast day in June 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
