As visitors approach the museum building, the landscape gradually shifts in scale—from the expansive wetlands and fields to the more intimate garden spaces nestled between the museum volumes. These gardens serve as a reinterpretation and abstraction of the traditional village gardens found in Lithuanian Shtetls, where wooden and brick houses were often framed by charming yards filled with flowers and trees. The carefully curated plant palette reflects the typical flora of Shtetl gardens, establishing a subtle yet meaningful connection to their heritage.
