Don’t let the city’s prized collection of historical treasures lead you to believe that contemporary culture in Vilnius isn’t thriving, because it is. Street art, open-air galleries, pop-up markets, film screenings, food festivals and live music options abound. Plus, the Contemporary Art Centre constantly offers new exhibitions and the MO Museum – the city’s newest – has an impressive permanent collection of modern and contemporary Lithuanian art. Add to that the annual calendar of events and you’re sure to find an opportunity to put your finger on the pulse of the city’s creative scene.
