Museum of Applied Arts and Design

Housed in the historic Old Arsenal of the Lower Castle in Vilnius, this is the museum for those with a taste for the decorative arts. Fashion, jewelry, applied arts – here you’ll find superlative examples created by local and foreign designers and artisans from the 14th c. until today. Of particular interest is the collection of 18th – 20th-century fashion and accessories from around the world that is on permanent display, a collaboration with the eminent fashion historian Alexandre Vassiliev. And for those looking to learn a little more about how the items were designed and made, you can sign up for a guided tour.
