Raimonds Paknis' photography exhibition "The Vestiges of Time: Walls and Colours" opening moments

The exhibition that opened at the National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, The Vestiges of Time: Walls and Colours, is on display over two levels at the Exhibition Centre. Visitors will be able to see photographs that Raimondas Paknys took over the course of around ten years. Between 2006 and 2021, he has made a number of expeditions into Ukraine, Belarus and around Lithuania, several times each year. Up until Russia’s wide-scale invasion into Ukraine, his photographs could encourage viewers to seek out those monuments or their ruins that had most captivated them and see them in situ, in real life. Today, this is impossible – they are hardly accessible, some have even been destroyed.
