The young forester A. Valavičius and experienced specialist S. Stankevičius from Druskininkai decided to establish a place where they could exhibit various things related to forests and wood. The museum was founded in 1972 and was called ‘Girios Aidas’. The museum consisted of four sections (Oak, Birch, Fir and Pine) with the exposition of wood artworks and the compositions called ‘Forest Birds’ and ‘Forest Animals’. Today the museum is extended. Apart from the above mentioned compositions, the museum exhibits carving artworks and organises various folk art displays, conferences and seminars.
