I found this museum very cool.
I didn't know much about Ciurlionis.
However, after watching his paintings go and see usual paintings (they are presented in second floor) is really difficult.
His style is fully dive to topic, find association about it and create satisfactory painting without any redundant detail.
Even names of his work talks a lot of. Just consider: Eternity, Friendship, Truth, Thoughts, Night .
Must visit place if you want see pure art.
A truly amazing collection of art by one of the most prominent Lithuanian artists of all time. I was blown away by the pictures, the level of detail in them is truly remarkable, and the imagery itself is incredibly captivating. The museum staff was incredibly helpful as well and volunteered to show us around even without having paid for the guided tour. The audio guide is also top notch, very detailed, and there is a lot of interspersed music written by Čiurlionis as well.
Every Wednesday is a free entrance day.
The exhibition is not too big, takes about 1-2 hours for the whole museum if you don't have the guided tour. They have a nice bookshop.
This is definitely a great museum. The people working in it are helping and friendly. If you use the audio guide, you will experiment a full immersion in Ciurlionis' works, listen to some extracts of its music, and enter in a sensational state of mind. Although the duration of the audio guide is quite long, if you have no idea about this Lithuanian artist, you should definitely take one. The museum itself was renovated quite recently and now looks simply great. 100% recommended to visit this place!
Well if you have a couple of hours to spend and you want to know more about čiurlionis and its 1905 to 1910 paintings and music this is your place
Highly recommended to those who would like to get familiar with Lithuanian culture. The space and the exhibitions are amazing. From photography, music, paintings to books you will enjoy each one of them.
Essential for the understanding of the artist. Very well presented and maintained. The audio guide is comprehensive and easy to follow.
Amazing art from an artist I hadn't heard of before now. There was also a rehearsal of his music taking place which was also excellent.
Good audio guide, perfect museum if you are fan of art and music
The one place that everyone should visit to know the contemporary art of Lithuania
The building itself is a sample of pure art-modern in Kaunas before WW2. Very autenthic restoration.
Exposition of greatest Lithuanian symbolism painter and music composer M.K. Ciurlionis brings you to the feeling of unreal, fantastic wold of art of the edge between XIX and XX c.
New exposition of Lithuanian art is opened
It's an interesting exposition about one of the most internationally underrated artists. I would recommend taking a guide as otherwise you might find it boring though.
Funny and a bit scary. Good price.
nice place to visit in Kaunas if you like art and classic music

This museum is a must if you're anywhere nearby. Ciurlonis paintings are very well presented as well as a good exhibition about his life and some on his music
