The former private collection of the Lithuanian art collector Mykolas Žilinskas (1904-1992) is now in the hands of the M. K. Čiurlionis State Art Museum, who exhibit it and other works inside this unlikely-looking building. On three floors, the museum features both applied and pure art from Europe and Asia from the 17th to the 20th century including some fine Flemish tapestries, Japanese porcelain and a Rubens that might not be a Rubens. Among the many splendid works of note are a knockout decorative plate from 1926, Baltars (The Wedding) by the Latvian artist Romans Suta (1896-1944) and Leonardo Coccorante’s (1680-1750) moody painting On the Coast of the Stormy Sea.
Admission 6/3Lt.
