Sasnava Rabbit Museum, Rabbit School
A Sasnava community museum identified by a wire rabbit
The Rabbit Museum is at Sūduvos g. 46 in Sasnava. Its low salmon-coloured building with white window frames and a pale roof is easy to recognise by the large wire rabbit sculpture in the garden. This is a small community attraction, not a zoo or a live-animal shelter.
The museum is a Sasnava community collection. An advance arrangement gives you time to look closely at rabbits of different materials, sizes and forms, especially when visiting with children.
The coordinate 54.650414, 23.4623951 identifies the entrance area at Sūduvos g. 46 and matches OpenStreetMap node 9165646431. Use the address and museum name in navigation because the school grounds can include more than one building.
More than 6,000 rabbits, from a centimetre to three metres
The collection contains more than 6,000 different rabbits. They came from many parts of the world and were made from different materials, so the exhibition becomes a story of everyday objects, souvenirs, and gifts rather than a row of identical figures.
The collection's scale is easier to imagine through its extremes: the smallest rabbit is about 1 cm, while the largest is about 3 m. These sizes describe collection objects, not the height of the building or the dimensions of the outdoor sculpture.
The museum also invites visitors to donate a rabbit they have raised. That is one way the community collection grows, but arrange the terms and acceptance of a donation with the museum before bringing anything.
Rabbit School is not a drop-in playroom
The Rabbit School education programme includes baking a rabbit cake, tasting rabbit tea, and completing themed tasks. It is designed for children and adults, so its value lies not only in viewing objects but also in taking part with an educator.
The programme takes groups of 10-50 people, lasts about 2.5 hours and requires advance registration. It is not automatically included in a museum ticket or guaranteed during an individual visit.
If you travel with children, ask in advance about the date, group size, price, allergies, and whether a viewing-only visit is possible that day. This avoids arriving when the education room is booked.
Opening hours, booking, and the ticket question
The museum receives visitors on weekdays from 11.00 to 15.00 and weekends by prior arrangement only. This general schedule can change, so confirm by phone or another official contact that individual visitors will be received on your chosen day.
A reliable public admission tariff is not listed. Education and group visits can have separate conditions, so confirm the current price, booking and admission arrangements with the museum before travelling.
Free car parking is mentioned at the site. That does not permit parking on the grass or a school access route: follow signs and leave space for local residents and programme groups.
A family-friendly place with a community rhythm
The museum welcomes visitors in Lithuanian, English, and Russian, but confirm the language and educator availability in advance. The small scale and dense collection suit a slow, curious visit where children can look for different materials, sizes, and shapes.
The building is a community attraction at a school-site address. Because it is a small place, discuss a specific wheelchair route, sanitary-facility or threshold need before travelling.
After the museum, continue to Marijampolė, where the regional museum, parks, and the Church of St Vincent de Paul offer different stops. Their schedules and tickets are separate from the Rabbit Museum's arrangements.
