"M. K. Čiurlionis Road" is an ensemble of wood sculptures created in 1975-1976 by masters of folk art to mark the 100th anniversary of M. K. Čiurlionis' birth. The 25 works (wooden sculptures and roofed poles) decorate the road from Old Varėna to Druskininkai (A4 Vilnius-Varėna-Gardinas road).

In the 1st group of compositions in Old Varėna there is the sculpture "Čiurlionis" by I. Užkurnis and "The Birth of Čiurlionis" by A. Gedvilas - a two-story sculpture with figural bas-reliefs on the 1st floor eaves and an iron sun of plant forms forged by the blacksmith J. Praninskas; the bas-reliefs were painted by M. Bičiūnienė. Both compositions are enclosed by a fence. On the fence there is a painting by B. Dabrukas' decorative plaque with the names of the creators of the road ensemble.
