The world’s third-largest hammer exhibition, located in Linkmenys, is just a short distance from the "Bird Village" homestead.
"Bird Village" organizes tours to view a collection of 500 hammers and other exhibits donated to the Ignalina Municipality by Žaneta and Antanas Kibickas. The collection is constantly being expanded.
Here you can see hammers of all sizes — from the smallest to the largest. They come from various parts of the world: Morocco, Kenya, Portugal, Alaska, and more. Each tool has its own story. For example, there is a special hammer used to crack crab shells. However, a large part of the collection consists of tools made by local masters — blacksmiths, shoemakers, carpenters, and woodcutters. Among the curiosities, you’ll also find a Stone Age flint tool, as well as medical, culinary, and radio engineering instruments.
