In the ethnographical farmstead which belonged to shipbuilder Jonas Gižas (1867–1940), you will be greeted by Žvejytės and Pamariukai who will present a regional folklore programme entitled I Will Become a Fisherman. In the museum you will see an interactive historical exposition dedicated to Gižas‘ personality, the craft of shuipbuilding and the traditions of the seacoast region. Part of the exposition tells a story aboat the construction of sailboats of the Curonian Lagoon: you will have an opportunity to open Gižas‘ toolbox and discover the peculiaryties of shipbuilding. You will also lean as to what the olden rules of fishing were and why fishermen had to put up weathercocks on a top of their boat masts.
