A unique tourist attraction has recently opened in the village of Kukiai in Mažeikiai District – the Kukiai Homestead, an exceptional museum located near the Varduva Dam. This place, renowned for its archaeological finds, including the famous bronze horse statue that has become a symbol of Mažeikiai's history, invites travelers to a rural tourism homestead filled with authentic exhibits that reflect life in Lithuania in the 20th century. Gediminas Januška and his son Linas have transformed the homestead into a cultural and historical oasis, showcasing rare artifacts that illustrate Lithuania's journey to the declaration of independence in

1918 and the subsequent changes up to modern times. Visitors find this place particularly fascinating due to the abundance of audio recordings – from the sounds of gramophone vinyl records to more modern cassettes and radio waves. Every corner of the museum is alive with music and stories that invite you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past. At Kukiai Homestead, where there is a wealth of authentic radio sets, guests are offered not only the opportunity to view the exhibits but also to stay comfortably, enjoying the almost forgotten voices of the past and reviving memories without the distractions of modern smart devices.
