Cat Museum

Šiauliai's Cat Museum is a wonderfully eccentric collection dedicated to our feline friends. The museum houses thousands of cat-themed objects — figurines, paintings, sculptures, toys, stamps, postcards, and curiosities — from countries around the world. Founded by a passionate cat lover, the collection ranges from fine art depicting cats to kitschy cat souvenirs, from ancient Egyptian cat sculptures to modern cat memes printed and framed. The sheer variety and volume of cat-related objects is both impressive and slightly overwhelming. The museum has a warm, personal atmosphere that reflects its origins as a private collection that grew too large for one home. Real cats sometimes wander the premises, adding an authentic touch. It pairs perfectly with Šiauliai's Bicycle Museum, located nearby, for a quirky museum double-header that is unique to this northern Lithuanian city.
