NOTE: FULLY BOOKED

Have you ever wondered what kind of world M. K. Čiurlionis saw? Which places inspired his mystical paintings and unique music? Where did his childhood unfold? Where did he meet his wife and spend the most creative years of his life?

The Čiurlionis Trail is not only a route through the most important places of the artist’s life, but also a journey into the world of his creativity, where nature becomes a symphony and landscapes turn into a fairy tale. It is an invitation to travel, to discover, and to experience Lithuania through the legacy of one of the country’s most outstanding artists.

The excursion “Čiurlionis Trail: Kaunas Route” invites you to discover Kaunas and the story of Čiurlionis hidden within it.

This route offers travelers two thematic threads to explore the city. First, Kaunas is the only place where you can see a permanent Čiurlionis exhibition and get to know his artistic work. Dedicated to this purpose, the National M. K. Čiurlionis Art Museum fulfills this mission. Here, by dedicating enough time, supplementing your visit with educational activities or a virtual reality experience, you will undoubtedly gain a deeper insight into the secrets of this artist, often called a Lithuanian genius. The museum—and Kaunas itself—has become the guardian and nurturer of Čiurlionis’ legacy.

The second thread connects Kaunas with Čiurlionis’ family. After his death, his wife Sofija settled in the temporary capital. His sisters Jadvyga and Valerija actively worked to preserve his legacy, and later, his only daughter with Sofija, Danutė, also lived here. Thus, while traveling through Kaunas, we will not only look for traces of Čiurlionis’ time—which are few in the city—but also explore the legacy of his ideas and creativity, the work of his close family members, and Čiurlionis’ reflection in our own time.
