The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania distances itself from the Midsummer Vilnius festival and suggests looking for other solutions

The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania distances itself from the Midsummer Vilnius festival and suggests looking for other solutions

Published:20260203

National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania has successfully collaborated with the Midsummer Vilnius festival for many years. Together with other events held in the Grand Courtyard of the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania in the summer, it was one of the main cultural landmarks of the capital in the summer. The news about the festival director and his family's ties to a sex offender shocked the museum community. There are no excuses for this, nor can there be any. Based on ethical and moral principles and in consideration of its reputation, the museum sees no possibility of continuing its cooperation with either the festival directors or the Midsummer Vilnius festival itself. The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania Museum distances itself from any connection with this festival or its organizers.

The Palace of the Grand Dukes bids farewell to an exceptional exhibition – in a week's time, the exhibition of Napoleon Orda's watercolors will come to an end, and these light-sensitive images of old Lithuania will return to storage in Poland for a long time. This priceless collection of watercolors and drawings, which introduces visitors to the heritage of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, reveals images of a former state that had already begun to be destroyed by Tsarist Russia in the 19th century. The works depict the cities, castles, palaces, and manors of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
