A longing stronger than death became the impetus for the most famous séance in Lithuanian history

On March 20th, 2026, the Transcarpathian Museum of Regional History named after Tivodar Lehotsky in Uzhhorod, Ukraine, opened an exhibition detailing the history of the Palace of the Grand Dukes in Vilnius, its turbulent past and heritage and the bonds between Lithuanians and Ukrainians dating back to the 10th century. This panel exhibition opens an important chapter of shared European, Ukrainian and Lithuanian history for visitors, highlighting the period when parts of modern-day Ukraine belonged to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Palace in Vilnius was the birthplace of political, cultural, and legal traditions that became a significant part of Ukrainian history.

 

Specialists at the museum developed a professional development program for Lithuanian teachers titled "Creative Tools for Educational Efficiency." Teachers were invited to participate in a 60-hour course, held both in person and remotely. During the sessions, museum professionals explained how the state and society can be presented to students in an engaging way using a historical landmark – the Palace of the Grand Dukes.
