ISBN 978-609-478-005-9The publication introduces the house-museum of collector and artist Kazys Varnelis (1917–2010). Within its small rooms, rich in details of early Gothic architecture, are exhibits of historical graphic art, maps, and Western European sculpture. These are complemented by Renaissance and Baroque furniture sets, as well as abstract works by Varnelis himself. The juxtaposition of these diverse elements creates a unique and harmonious exhibition. Varnelis's collection, amassed over fifty years and gifted to Lithuania, represents a significant addition to the country's existing cultural treasures and introduces new exhibition principles.
