Nagliai Street already has a glass exhibition 16 meters long and three wide, and there are dozens of dolls, animals, dumped dunes and disappeared villages. This work will tell visitors the story of the Curonian Spit. The prepared information will also help you understand the historical twists and turns.
“The exhibition itself is with a dune, an episode of a bloated village, an episode of an ice cream parlor, a slimy, a post office in Alksnyne. The whole story revolves around that period, which includes landscaping, baptisms, even how the hay is transported from Russia, and the bride and the fisherman are transported from the mainland ”, says the artist, who drew dozens of figures. He says he no longer listens to thumbs tired of kneading clay.
“Why was the horse led to the pond with a mountain of straw?” Asks a woman who finished mounting an exhibition in Nida on Wednesday.
“It is difficult to keep animals in the sand dunes. I had to buy a meadow on the other side of the pond. At the beginning of the summer, the whole family swam with a blanket to mow. There was a long time and the weather vanes carved, and the songs were born. When he returned home, the horse with a carriage entered the pond, reloaded hay from the sailboat and carried it to the roof. This was almost the main way to use horses. In autumn, the horses were allowed to graze freely and they wandered almost to Königsberg, trying to find forage. In spring, the boys came to rescue them. For a long time, they searched, captured and built ties for animals that lived in the wild for half a year. I was proud of the park, ”the story testifies.

ARPečeliūnienė, who has spent several months reading and interest in the history of the Curonian spit, has deepened his knowledge, so there is not much time left to answer this question for the curious.
“It turns out that the Curonian Spit had no grass. They sailed the hay from Rusnė with the kurėnas, loaded it into a horse-drawn carriage and hauled it to the shed,” says the artist.
At that time, not only hay, but also future wives were sailing from the other shore.

“Strong, sturdy, wind-tossed copiers also looked at the girls on the other shore. They sailed them with their full chest of drawers sails, a huge built-in clock, new utensils, and supplied seed bags. It is rare that such a part is desired. ”, Visitors will find such information in the exhibition.
Life was not easy. Blowing sand, swallowing some villages, continued to threaten residents.
“About the humble and self-critical Lithuanian Curonians who live here and who have not lost their self-esteem. Naive, hardworking, superstitious. To the used sand. And he penetrated their houses, brought food and belongings. The blown dunes grew to a height of 40 meters and slid into the lagoon at a rate of 6 meters per year. It often swallows all the villages. The fishermen’s houses were adapted for this purpose, with two doors. If the sand closed the bottom of the outlet during the night, it would slide over the top and scrape the swollen bottom, ”the story continues.

ARPečeliūnienė says that so far he is deepening his knowledge about this region. While preparing the exhibition, she searched for Klaipeda University books, the Internet and libraries. The Curonian Spit National Park provided a lot of material, as well as the history buffs of Priekulė.
The German writer and translator Liudvikas Pasargė, who was visiting here in the 19th century, wonderfully wrote impressive legends and stories. In 1862 he visited this country and described the Curonian Spit as a country that does not exist in all of Europe.
The idea was suggested by herself
The artist herself offered to immortalize the story in the exhibition for the Curonian Spit National Park, having surprised Klaipėda with her exhibitions, she donated the doll story about Jerusalem, which had perished to Klaipėda, before Christmas, as well as installed churches in churches. Her dolls recently decorated the Klaipeda University Botanical Garden.
“Why was the horse led to the lagoon with a mountain of straw?” Are the questions asked by the woman, who finished mounting the exhibition in Nida on Wednesday.
“When I did ‘The History of Jerusalem’, I wanted to do something more about my country, my land. I contacted the park manager Aušra Feser and asked if Nida needed such a story. She was very happy. We developed a conversation, it was early 2018. I was interested, we talked, even the anecdotes of that time were told by Dawn. Thus, various stories and episodes emerged from the language, even when the sowing of this land began in the mid-nineteenth century. Already in March 2018, I had seated 30 Curonians and copyists, but I did everything until August 15. The construction of the pavilion itself took a long time, each movement on the Curonian Spit requires a permit ”, said the artist, who left the exhibition and the typical animals of this region: elk, deer, wild boar, horses, swans and geese, eagles . History is inseparable from the old wooden boats: the Kurenas.
The artist, who completed her latest work on Wednesday, also placed an amber receiver in the exhibition. The locals lost the idea, they lacked that character.
“They say there is no amber receiver! Yesterday I stumbled, I put my feet in the lagoon ”, the woman smiles.
Dozens of figurines
Artist Aušra Feser, director of the Curonian Spit National Park, considers the work to be wonderful and highly detailed.
“We have already calculated that it has 13 ships, 56 figurines. Really amazing, a lot of people, but no one understands what’s out there. Today, the story will be stuck, it will be clearer. In fact, the work is fantastically beautiful, very detailed, small, fun, the whole story revealed during the life of the doll, I think it will have great appeal. The pavilion will be illuminated, it will look even more beautiful in winter, “said A. Feser.

According to the manager, in communication with the artist, it was decided to reveal the history of the Curonian Spit in the pavilion, which would reflect the period before the resort, when there were no hotels or luxury boats.
“We collect literature, stories, what we can show, old photos, descriptions. The image we see was born from them. This is a joint project with the municipality, a pavilion was built on its plot. The municipality also contributed to its installation ”, the manager was happy.
The exhibitions “Life on the Curonian Spit in the 19th Century” created by artist ARPečeliūnienė from Klaipėda The presentation will take place on Friday at 4 pm Naglių st. 4, Nida.
