The National Museum of Lithuania has on display various art and artifacts that are a testament to the Lithuanian life. These exhibits and artifacts range from the Neolithic times all the way to the present day. From the very early history that is showcased thanks to the 2nd millennium BC arrowheads and 7th-century hauls from the graves, to the lives that all the upper-class Lithuanians who have lived in the past centuries with displays of velvet-lined sleds and intricately painted furniture, the museum is a true tribute to the country of Lithuania. The one place you must see is the colourful folk traditions room filled with beautiful floral-decorated furnishings and carved wooden crosses. The National Museum acts as an extension of the Museum of Antiquities and has been building on its collection since 1855. Another feature of this museum is the statue of Mindaugas, Lithuania's sole king, that has stood guard over the entrance of the museum since 2003.
