Inspired by Aidas Marčėnas’s poem Literatų Gatvė about a wistful young man drinking and smoking with his friends on the street of the same name, the highly recommended permanent outdoor gallery on Literatų is dedicated to writers past and present who’ve all left their mark on the city. Comprised of small, mixed-media prints, drawings and paintings celebrating everyone from Jonas Mekas to Czesław Miłosz to Romain Gary, the gallery, all the work of local artists, grew from humble beginnings in 2008 and now features over 100 superb pieces.

  It is very close to the one of the main street of the Vilnius old town - Pilies Didzioji, but you must know This place, or find it unexpectedly by random walking. This place worth of attention of people, who appreciate the real artworks in public. By the way, you can visit the gallery at www.literatugatve.lt
