This late Classicist building provides a refined setting for one of the country’s most distinguished collections of Lithuanian and European art from the 16th to early 20th centuries. The gallery presents permanent and temporary exhibitions that explore the artistic heritage of Lithuania’s nobility and the broader cultural context of the region.

In addition to its exhibitions, the gallery hosts classical music concerts, public lectures, and educational programmes that deepen engagement with historical art.
