We invite you to a guided tour of the exhibition “From Amber to the Stars: M. K. Čiurlionis, His Contemporaries and Kindred Spirits” with curators Vaiva Laukaitienė and Greta Katkevičienė.

Offering a fresh perspective on Čiurlionis’ achievements and interests, this exhibition reveals his relevance to contemporary art and today’s pressing themes. The display centers on two main motifs in Čiurlionis’ creative work – the sea and cosmos. Alongside key works by Čiurlionis himself, the exhibition features pieces by his contemporaries as well as modern artists, with artworks on loan from major European museums. It also explores the importance of science, a source of inspiration for both Čiurlionis and many of the participating artists. Several artists, inspired by Čiurlionis, have created original works specifically for this exhibition.

During the tour, you will embark on a journey from the depths of the sea to the farthest stars – the very elements that inspired Čiurlionis’ imagination. You’ll hear about new research into his work, see rarely exhibited pieces, and discover the artists of his era and the ideas that shaped and continue to influence today’s creative minds. The exhibition offers a chance to explore how vast themes like the sea and cosmos can be embodied in both monumental and miniature artworks, while highlighting Čiurlionis’ uniqueness and the unexpected, meaningful dialogues formed between his work and that of Lithuanian and international artists.

The tour is included with a regular museum admission ticket.

We warmly invite you to attend.

This is a public event and may be photographed or filmed. By participating, you consent to being visible in event photos and recordings, which may be published.
