Vilnius Picture Gallery

The Vilnius Picture Gallery displays Lithuanian artworks in a late 18th-century palace with classical proportions and design. The interior is divided into rooms showing paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects from different periods.

The palace was built in the 18th century for a wealthy family and later took the name of the Chodkevičius, a prominent Lithuanian noble family. The art collection began in the 1930s and grew to become the main showcase of Lithuanian art history.

The building served as a residence for noble families and still shapes the character of Old Town today. Visitors can see how this palace became a place where Lithuanian artistic traditions are kept and shown to the public.

Entry is straightforward and the building sits in the heart of Old Town, easy to reach on foot. Visitors should know there are many stairs between floors, as the structure is built on sloped terrain.

The building once served as a working artist studio before becoming a public gallery. This history of artists living and creating inside still shapes how the space feels when you walk through it.
