The international exhibition The Pacs. Lilies in the Garden of History

Past event2024y.October1029 d. - 2025y.January0126 d.

The Pacs are one of the most eminent, oldest, influential, wealthiest and most celebrated magnate families in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, who held the title of counts. They are likely to have originated from the Grodno and Lida surrounds. Like many other Lithuanian magnate families, the Pacs consistently highlighted the legend of their Roman origins. Due to their exceptional role in Lithuania’s history, this family can be compared to the Radziwill princes and the Sapieha dukes. At one point, the Pacs had even become the factual rulers of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, continuing the tradition of protecting and strengthening Lithuania’s statehood. Many representatives of the Pac family held high-ranking state and church offices, were well educated and were known for their refined artistic tastes.
