Following the construction of the Sea Museum, the developers of the Dolphinarium already had a lot of knowledge and experience, but they still had to rack their brains in search of financing, building materials and technological solutions. With this resounding slogan, the Lithuanian Sea Museum invites visitors to visit the continuously enriched and carefully cherished expositions of marine nature and history, and to attend dolphin shows and various special occasions and events. The Lithuanian Sea Museum is a republican museum, a state budget institution under the authority of the Ministry of Culture. The Museum is situated in Kopgalis, the northernmost end of the range of dunes of the Curonian Spit, where the Curonian Spit peninsula, stretching for 98 km, ends and Klaipėda Seaport gate opens up. In the late 19th century, the Nerija fort was constructed in Kopgalis, which was almost entirely demolished during World War II. In 1979, the Nerija fort was restored and adapted for the needs of the Museum.The Lithuanian Sea Museum was opened in the reconstructed Nerija fort in 1979. Aquaria with Lithuanian freshwater fish, fish species from the Baltic Sea and tropical seas were constructed and the exposition of marine nature was created.The Lithuanian Sea Museum occupies the area of approximately 13 hectares. Outdoor pools for penguins, Baltic grey seals and Steller sea lions were equipped next to the central redoubt. The exposition of the history of navigation of Lithuania is housed in the posterns and casemates under the ramparts; while the collection of ancient and modern anchors is displayed on ramparts, earlier served for gun emplacements.
