Mykolas Zilinskas Art Gallery
The largest branch of the M. C. Ciurlionis National Museum of Art presents foreign art of various styles and periods. Initially, the exhibitions were based exclusively on the private collections of the eponymous Mykolas Zilinskas, an influential businessman and diplomat who started collecting art during his exile in Berlin in the mid-20th century and eventually donated his collection of more than 1,500 works to Lithuania. The building was erected in 1989, in Postmodernist style, featuring, among other things, granite from the same quarry as Lenin’s mausoleum.
