Kaunas is a dynamic and forward-looking city that blends its world-recognized interwar modernist heritage with bold contemporary culture. Listed by UNESCO for its unique “Modernist Kaunas: Architecture of Optimism (1919–1939)”, the city impresses with striking architecture, vibrant neighbourhoods, and a spirit of reinvention that can be felt at every turn.
As the European Capital of Culture 2022, Kaunas continues to thrive with international festivals, innovative arts, and world-class museums. One highlight just a few minutes’ walk from the conference venue is the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art — home to the works of Lithuania’s most celebrated artist and composer. Visitors are also invited to watch an immersive sensory film inspired by Čiurlionis’ visionary artwork “The Creation of the World”.
