Museum of Feelings in Anykščiai
A museum for talking about feelings
The Museum of Feelings is on Tilto Street in Anykščiai and invites visitors to explore emotions through colour, form, and experience rather than a long list of objects. In its rooms, visitors can pause, name a feeling, and discuss how different images prompt different associations.
A usual visit takes about 45 minutes and is guided by an educator. If you want a workshop, ask in advance about available places and the length of the programme.
Colour, form, and installations
The museum's main language is visual: soft suspended pastel forms, a warm wooden interior, and a vivid emotional installation make it possible to discuss feelings beyond abstract definitions. The aim is not to find one correct response, but to notice what feels familiar, unsettling, or unexpected to each visitor.
This experience suits visitors who want to participate and talk rather than simply pass through an exhibition. Check the rules for photography, group size, touching installations, and children before or on arrival, because they may depend on the particular programme.
Workshops about feelings and thoughts
In one workshop, participants can write or depict 20-30 feelings on a 50x70 cm sheet. The task helps show how many different states can sit behind the everyday idea of feeling and gives a family or group a clear starting point for conversation.
The Thought Hackers workshop focuses on thought traps and uses an uncooked egg in one task. In the social-art workshop, a group makes one shared composition from 10-20 kg of clay without a preset theme, making agreement and communication as important as the final object.
Hours, tickets, and visit length
The museum currently opens Wednesday to Sunday, 11.00-18.00. Ticket guidance is €5 for a child, €7 for an adult, and a €1 discount for seniors and holders of the Šeimos, POLA, or Anykštėnas cards. Season, special closures, and prices can change, so check the museum site before travelling.
The museum phone number is +370 600 35574. If you are travelling as a group, want a workshop, or plan a weekend visit, arrange a time in advance and ask whether the chosen activity is included in the ticket. It is best to reserve an educator-led place in advance.
The Museum of Feelings on an Anykščiai route
The address is Tilto g. 1, Anykščiai, so the museum can be combined with other town and regional places. Before travelling, decide whether you want the short guided experience or a full workshop: the latter will take longer than the usual 45 minutes.
The museum opened for the 2025 tourism season, so its operating pattern and offer may still be adjusted seasonally. Follow the educator's instructions, protect the installations, and let children participate only under the museum's rules, especially during hands-on creative activities.
