Lots to see here, plenty of woodwork and miscellaneous stuff. I got 2 car plates for my collection. Lots of wood trinkets. A must stop. If you want a photo it will cost you a euro. I have never found a real license plate ever in all of Europe for sale.

Amazing and very cozy place!

Really nice shop with so many amazing sculptures and antiques to see. I bought this beautiful wooden box.

Jonas’ is a must stop when visiting Vilnius. A humble and funny shop owner, he has my full respect. Don’t leave Lithuania without buying something from him.

This place is amazing. The art there blew me away. If you're looking for traditional Lithuanian folk art this place is highly recommended. One of a kind, unique pieces, made by a talented local artist. Wonderful experience and I bought so much cool stuff home.

So this is a secret spot where Jonas makes and creates some awesome things... And enjoy exploring If you want to take pictures pls ask and if you don't purchase anything pay him a few euros for each picture !

Very forthcoming gentleman, happily showing us around his workshop, telling us about the history of his objects and demonstrating the musical instruments he had made. He especially took good care of our children. The objects we bought carry extra weight because of the personal relationship he forged in the little time we spent with him. A unique experience and a good way of getting in touch with traditional Lithuanian crafts.
