This is a fairly eclectic museum. It's labeled as the Samuel Baks museum from the outside and the first floor includes an amazing retrospective of his art, from his first notebook in Vilnius to his internationally recognized paintings from almost a century later.
After this floor there are more individual exhibitions as well as a larger survey of the Jewish community in Lithuania. Underestimating the size, I didn't give myself enough time to enjoy the museum fully. I would recommend at least 2 hours to scratch the surface of multiple exhibitions.
Unique place to learn Jewish culture in Lithuania. There are interesting permanent and temporary exhibitions.
Samuel Bak :)
One of the best museums and education places. Don't miss it when visit Vilnius
Very moving experience. The museum presents the facts and the ideas in a professional and sensitive manner.
Very small museum in an nice old building.
This Museum is, along with the Holocaust Exhibition an excellent exhibit, and it would be very good for many more people to witness the appalling stories it reveals about the cruelty which too many unfeeling people commit against others.
Open in 10:00 not like they sayI missed because I had to catch a flight
