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.

I really liked the museum. I went on the last Sunday of the month (museums in Lithuania are free them) and I definitely recommend coming early right when they open. I came slightly after 10 and when I was leaving around 11:30, the place was really filling up. It is a very interesting and engaging museum. The artist is quite fascinating as he had many talents. It is also great for families and kids since it has a little play corner and some fun activities. I also bought some beautiful postcards in the gift shop to send to my grandparents.

Had a fantastic time at the art museum. M.K. Čiurlionis is the most renowned artist in Lithuania, and there’s even a street named after him in Vilnius. Everyone should see his artwork while visiting the country. Although the layout of the museum isn't completely straightforward, it's manageable. About two hours is enough time to see everything.

I'm new to Lithuania, so Ciurlionis is unknown to me. I can't believe he did so much in so short a time. A lot of his works look like they could be 70s SF novel covers or heavy metal album covers, and to me that's the highest compliment.

Very nice museum with more then one exhibitions. There was one about Lithuan history, another one related to stars, galaxy and planets, another one related to the ocean. It was a very good visit and I totally recommend it. I paid 10€ (full price) and I found it very fair. The navigation can be a little confusing as there are many rooms and walls with exhibitions but is not like a maze. I spent around 2h to see it all, at a medium pace, stopping for 1-2 minutes in some spots and just walking by in others. I don't remember seeing elevators so I am not sure if it is accessible, I would give a call before, if you need it.

Beautiful museum. We felt an immediate immersion into Lithuanian culture. We had a guided tour with a translator. Milita translated for our group and she was wonderful. We highly recommend the VR Movie. Great experience! Thanks for the unique tour!

A must-see museum of art named after a famous and prolific painter, writer, composer Čiurlionis, who spoke Polish all his life and fell in love with a young girl, Sofija. In the souvenir shop you can get two books of Čiurlionis letters in original Polish with a translation into Lithuanian and lots of additional information on life and people of his time, poets, painters, writers and other artists, and family members, and places he lived like Warsaw, Petersburg, Palanga, Vilnius, but most of all, about his beloved Sofija.

The person at the reception seemed to begrudgingly sell me a ticket. I didn't realise there would be no context on Čiurlionis without buying the audio guide. It's mostly a shame because he is little known outside of Lithuania. The presentation of information throughout the museum is exceptionally variable in general. There was supposedly a new exhibition but it appeared to be closed. It would be useful to have a guided route through the museum to avoid missing things.

If you had only time to visit one museum when in Kaunas, then I would say it the National art museum. The building is a treasure itself. From Liberty Avenue is is just a very short walk away. The access is easy and checking both opening times and changing exhibitions before a visit is recommendable. Admission is 10euros. Enjoy!
