About the project
The Lithuanian Art Museum’s cycle of exhibitions Streets of Vilnius is dedicated to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the founding of the Lithuanian capital. The socio-topographic museum-based research of the Old Town in the lead up to this important anniversary in 2023 seeks to reveal the evolution of the city’s main streets, their cultural and linguistic heterogeneity, to reflect the events, phenomena and everyday life, and to acquaint today’s citizens with the capital city’s former inhabitants.
