M.K. Čiurlionis Museum of Art

Kaunas, Lithuania is a 2022 European Capital of Culture — Here's What to See

"A simple but grand statement of Kaunas Modernism, the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art was designed in 1930 by Vladimiras Dubeneckis, Kārlis Reisons, and Kazimieras Kriščiukaitis; its striking crown-shaped front entrance is a deliberate nod to the artist M. K. Čiurlionis, whose work — a primary focus of the collection — often incorporated crown motifs. To mark Kaunas's Capital of Culture year the museum is hosting a special exhibition, That Which We Do Not Remember by William Kentridge (on view through November 30), linking contemporary work to the city's heritage." - Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion is a travel journalist and photographer covering culture and adventure for Travel + Leisure Outside, and more.
