Samuel Bak Museum

Vilnius


This art gallery, a branch of the Jewish State Museum, showcases the bold, vivid, somewhat surrealist paintings of renowned artist Samuel Bak, whose works were first exhibited in 1942 in the Vilnius ghetto. There are also temporary art exhibitions and a concert hall. Upstairs is a detailed, multilingual exposition on Jewish life and culture in Lithuania in the centuries preceding WWII and the Holocaust.
