Advantages: Good art

Disadvantages: None that I can see

The National Art Gallery is something that Lithuania had been missing as a European capital city because there was no central place to display national art works in a gallery of this size.

Now of course, this huge gallery has all the best works of the country's artists on display. Friends of mine in the industry say this is a tremendous venue (I liked it when I was there because I saw the art - good enough for me!) and it will be wildly successful.

The gallery is spacious and large, having 12 display rooms - 10 smallers ones, one multimedia display room and a huge feature exhibition area for special shows.

The interior is very nice and sober, giving you full attention for the art, which is displayed on different levels.

There is a cafe in the museum, which is sorely needed half way through the visit! The best thing is that the cafe is not super expensive and serves decent coffee. In fact, it is probably one of the cheaper cafes in Vilnius.

The museum is placed on the side of the river on Konstitucijos prospektas, which is easily reachable by foot or trolley bus. Entrance is around two quid (depending on the exchange rate!), but it is money well spent.

Summary: Art on display
