M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Arts, in order to encourage contemporary designers and creators of art industries to use the inexhaustible work of Čiurlionis, applying his ideas to our everyday life, is launching a new cycle of mini-exhibitions: „Čiurlionis and design“.

The first exhibition was inspired by professor Vytautas Landsbergis. Politian, art and culture historian, the most famous researcher of M. K. Čiurlionis arts still finds new inspirations in this artist‘s creations. The professor invites us to update and use the traditional elements of Lithuanian-style design, which are abundantly found in Čiurlionis' works, in our everyday environment.

A sample of material, based on M. K. Čiurlionis art motifs was created by the common forces from professor Vytautas Landsbergis and UAB „Audėjas“.

The exhibition also features a chair designed by furniture maker Arvydas Tijūšas, based on a sketch by Čiurlionis. The professor's daughter, Birutė Landsbergytė, was looking through many of the artist's drawings and had the idea to make a chair with Lithuanian motifs drawn by Čiurlionis and present it to her father.

The original works of Čiurlionis-esque design will be presented on 22 March at 15.00 at the M. K. Čiurlionis Gallery (V. Putvinskio str. 55, Kaunas). We cordially invite all those interested in Čiurlionis's work. Young designers and design professionals are especially welcome.

The exhibition „Čiurlionis and design“ will be open from 2024 03 22 until 2024 06 02

The guests of the event: professor Vytautas Landsbergis and Birutė Landsbergytė.

The event is moderated by the general director of M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Arts D. Kamarauskienė.
