About the Museum
The “Nidos Smiltė” is the only hotel in the summer resort of Neringa which at the same time is a museum.
The Herman Blode hotel was built in 1867 in the Eastern part of what at that time was fishing settlement and became known as a house for artists. Prominent cultural personalities of the time such as the well-known Ludwig Passarge, Engelbert Humperding, and Thomas Mann, and many famous artists including E. Bischoff-Culm and Hans Borschke would live there in summer making an important part of Nida’s artist colony.
