City and forest route

 A composition of ceramic sculptures by J. and B. Arčikauskas can be seen by walking along Vilnius Avenue. The composition consists of sculptures titled Ship, Anthill, Lizard, Crow, Capricorn, Thistle and Fairy, which were all built in 1987.

Druskininkai and Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis are integral parts of each other. Čiurlionis, the most famous Lithuanian artist and composer, grew up in Druskininkai, where he created many paintings and wrote his musical works.

The painting Ships (Clouds) is dintinguished from the other works of this artist by its mystery of nature. 

The Winter series of eight paintings, created in 1906–1907, is one of the most remarkable achievements of Čiurlionis’ plastic expressions. This series is characterised by modest colour nuances and exclusive compositions that are full of lyricism and sparkling winter motifs.

The monument to Lithuania, built by Vytautas Kašuba in 1995, depicts the Lithuanian King Mindaugas. Mindaugas was the Grand Duke of Lithuania, as well as being the first and only King of Lithuania. The formation of the state of Lithuania and the first steps toward Christianity in the country are associated with Mindaugas.

Čiurlionis created seven painted sonatas. In one compositional sonata and series based on rhythm dynamics (Allegro, Andante, Scherzo, Finale), Čiurlionis combined realistic motifs from reality with different spatial planes and moments of time, as well as contrasting symbolic images.

The Sonata of the Stars painting differs from the previous sonatas due to a rich tempera layer, a deeper colour ratio, and a cosmic theme which is expressed not through landscape elements or motifs but by directly depicting the vast reached of space and its elements: dark and lighter objects and nebulae, playful stars and planets, an angel and the sun.

The Druskininkai Resistance and Exile Museum is regarded as one of the best museums in Lithuania built to commemorate the period of Soviet occupation. The museum has about two thousand exhibits including: photographs, documents, handiwork created in exile and other relics from the period of exile and resistance.
