What cultural themes does Sasnava offer?

The old rectory and the Rabbit Museum represent two different cultural perspectives. The rectory’s history as an architectural monument and its construction period, 1905–1906, provide concrete points of reference. These dates give the building a clear historical context.

The Rabbit Museum focuses on something else: its collection of rabbit figures. Ranging from 1 cm to 3 m, the figures vary from very small to exceptionally large. This contrast in size is a striking introduction to the museum’s theme.

The program thus connects the museum’s theme with the town’s name. Visitors also receive a souvenir from Zuikienė as part of the program.

The rectory is defined by its status as an architectural monument and its construction period; the museum focuses on the rabbit figures and the exploration of the town’s name.
