Here you will see the remains of the world’s oldest phytosaur found in the Šaltiškiai quarry, an exceptional collection of butterflies, which is the largest in Lithuania with as many as 5,000 of them with almost all of the world’s most beautiful butterflies, and the unique finds of the Papilė burial ground from the 7th and 13th centuries.
