Caravaggio. St Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy

Caravaggio. St Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy

Past event2026y.June0603 d. - 2026y.June0629 d.

Michelangelo Merisi, better known as Caravaggio (1571–1610), is one of the most famous and influential artists of all time. His work is considered ingenious not only for its sublime brushwork, characterised by tenebrism, but also the inner experiences of the characters he depicted, exposing human fragility, intellectual playfulness and intertextuality, and raw expression. Caravaggio is often called the pioneer of Baroque art, revealing not only to Italy but to all of Europe a completely new age of cultural thought, forms and even the viewer’s relationship with art.

Exhibition "HERITAGE COMING HOME. Paintings acquired in 2018–2025"

Past event2026y.February0225 d. - 2026y.August0816 d.

The National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania is constantly searching for and seeking to acquire objects of value associated with Lithuania that would not only supplement the museum’s expositions and collections but would also see the heritage of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania that is currently scattered all around the world finally come home. Each year the museum’s collections are significantly enriched by objects of value acquired from foreign auctions, antique dealers and private individuals, as well as by supporters’ generous gifts.
 
The National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania always aspires to show to the public its latest valuable acquisitions, by supplementing permanent expositions, organising events and releasing publications. To date, two special exhibitions have been organised for this purpose, where gifts received and objects of value acquired during the period 2009–2017 were presented, accompanied by two top-level catalogues. The present exhibition continues this tradition, however, this time paintings will be showcased that enriched the collections of the National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania in 2018–2025. During this period, the museum accumulated other objects of value as well, though the painting collection is almost certainly the most impressive to date. Incidentally, in 2021 and 2023, patron Dr Pranas Kiznis kindly gifted his early painting collection to the museum. Thus, alongside the precious tapestries and furniture collections, the public can also now admire these astounding paintings at the National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania.

The international exhibition Old Lithuania in the Watercolours of Napoleon Orda

The international exhibition Old Lithuania in the Watercolours of Napoleon Orda

Past event2025y.October1016 d. - 2026y.February0208 d.

Napoleon Orda (1807–1883) was one of the most diverse Lithuanian artists and public figures of the 19th century. He earned renown in Paris as a pianist and composer, his musical works and abilities were appreciated by masters such as Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt and Stanisław Moniuszko. Orda actively gathered those fleeing political persecution from Russia around him, was personally engaged in publicistic activities writing articles and poems, and was close friends with the most famous poet of the day, Adam Mickiewicz. Nevertheless, the most valuable and richest part of Orda’s artistic legacy are his drawings and watercolours, presented here in this exhibition by the National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania and the National Museum of Kraków.
