Did you know who advised Grand Duke of Lithuania Gediminas to build a city at the confluence of the Neris and Vilnia rivers? And that Vytautas the Great was a great chess player, and that his jester Hanytė not only entertained guests but was preparing to take part in a knights tournament? Did you hear what the cockles were whispering in the evenings at the manor and what Sigismund Augustus gave his beloved Barbora?

Find out all this and more in Vilnius Palace and its Hosts. The book is written by historians Nelė Kostinienė and Živilė Mikailienė and illustrated with beautiful drawings by artist Lina Itagaki. The book is decorated with almost 80 lively drawings and a genealogy of the characters.

This is the catalogue of the international exhibition "Lublin - City of the Lithuanian-Polish Union". The exhibition and catalogue, together with one of the most famous and spectacular paintings "The Union of Lublin" by Jan Matejko, also features six dozen works of art on historical themes from the 17th and 20th centuries. They give a broader picture of the city of Lublin, famous for the Union of Lithuania and Poland signed on 1 July 1569, as well as for its magnificent architecture, other artistic heritage and history. 

The international exhibition and catalogue "Lublin - the City of the Lithuanian-Polish Union", organised on the occasion of the 450th anniversary of the Union of Lublin, is an excellent opportunity to recall one of the most important political events of the 16th century in Central and Eastern Europe. At the same time, it highlights the historical links between Lithuanian and Polish politics and culture and the close ties between the two countries and peoples that have existed for centuries.

All catalogue texts (articles and descriptions of the exhibits) are published in three languages: Lithuanian, English and Polish.

Daukantas, both relics of his biography and memorabilia, preserved by various Lithuanian memory institutions - museums, libraries, archives - and private individuals.
