Numerous ceramic panels are attached to a wall in Klaipeda to commemorate the 770th anniversary of the city of Klaipeda: A metal plaque informs the visitors:

"On the initiative of the Education Department of Klaipeda City Municipality Administration, in 2022, the project 'Signs of Klaipeda History' was launched to mark the 770th anniversary of Klaipeda city. It was attended by 300 students from 14 schools in the city. The project was coordinated by Klaipeda Students' Self-Expression Center, the project partners – the Museum of History of Lithuania Minor and klaipeda Ernestas Galvanauskas Vocational Training Center.
In the spring, ceramic panels created by students with images of the history of our city were exhibited in the Blacksmithing Museum, and now lie in the wall next to this museum. We are glad that 200 students' works will decorate the Old Town of Klaipeda.
