Thomas Mann Memorial Museum

Captivated by the romantic landscape, Thomas Mann, a German writer and winner of the Nobel Prize, built a summer house on the Curonian Spit. It took just a few days in the summer of 1929 for him to be struck by the uniqueness and beauty of the natural surroundings. So, the writer (1875-1955) had a summer house built in the Lithuanian fishing village of Nida. But Mann and his family were able to spend only three summers in their holiday home on the Baltic Sea. The Nazis' seizure of power forced them into exile.

The museum now houses old photos, memoirs, books, and documents mirroring the poet’s work.En savoir plus
