Exhibition \u201cKaunas \u2013 Vilnius: <\/strong>Moving Mountains\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The secret of the friendship between the rival cities \u2013 Kaunas and Vilnius \u2013 will be revealed by the co-exhibition of the MO Museum and the Kaunas City Museum. The expositions will uncover the fundamental interdependence of the two cities, how they have shaped one another, and how present-day Lithuania has emerged from the tensions between the two. The mountains and motifs of the exhibition are repeated in the exhibition halls of both museums, but they tell different stories. In this way, the concept and architecture of \u201cKaunas-Vilnius: Moving Mountains\u201d embodies the very necessity for Kaunas and Vilnius to stay together: to see the whole exhibition, one must visit both cities.<\/p>\n
