Adam Mickiewicz Museum, Literature museum in Vilnius, Lithuania
The Adam Mickiewicz Museum is a literature venue in Vilnius that displays manuscripts, letters, photographs, and personal belongings of the Polish poet within a historic building complex. The collection traces his life and literary work across different periods.
The museum was founded in 1911 and occupies a building from the late 1700s where Mickiewicz himself lived and worked during 1822. This location carries personal significance tied directly to his time in Vilnius.
The museum honors Adam Mickiewicz's legacy through exhibitions and events that connect Polish and Lithuanian literary traditions. Visitors can see how his work bridged these two cultural worlds.
The venue is situated in the Old Town and is accessible by public transport. Visitors should note that opening hours vary between weekdays and weekends.
Excavations uncovered green-glazed ceramic tiles from the 1400s beneath the building's foundations. These artifacts reveal that the site had been occupied much earlier than the current structure suggests.
