MK Čiurlionis Memorial Museum

Lithuania


The life and works of Lithuania’s renowned painter-musician MK Čiurlionis are paid homage at this attractive museum in a residential neighbourhood. His treasured possessions (including a piano) are exhibited across four small buildings. The artworks in the little gallery are copies, not originals.

Items aren't labelled in English but cards with information in various languages are available to guide visitors around.
