The creative energy of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis gave rise not only to imaginative worlds, but also contributed to the shaping of Lithuania as a cultural homeland.

In an effort to introduce the public to the First Lithuanian Art Exhibition, which took place in P. Vileišis’ house, the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore invites you to an educational guided tour.

In a performance by the theater group Arbatvakariai (actors Eglė Tulevičiūtė and Kristijonas Siparis), the audience will witness a form of living historical documentary: visitors, together with the performers, will travel nearly 120 years back in time and, as if peering through a keyhole, observe a conversation among the organizers of the First Lithuanian Art Exhibition — all framed by shifting 3D HD projections. The dialogue will reveal many interesting and unexpected details about the exhibits, their interpretations, and about Čiurlionis and his contemporaries.

The tour is free of charge.
