The Italian Institute of Culture in Vilnius and the Regional Museum of Lazdijai have organized an exhibition entitled “Leonardo da Vinci. The Gentle Genius” to celebrate the Italian artist on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his death. The exhibition travels to the city of Lazdijai, in southern Lithuania, after touring other cities in the country, including Vilnius.
The exhibition will be held at the Regional Museum, Via Seinu 29. It will be inaugurated on August 26 and will be open to the public until September 11. Admission is free.
Fourteen panels make up the exhibition, illustrating the life and personality of Leonardo, his art and his discoveries. Each panel reveals not only curiosities about the man, but also about the historical context and period, the Renaissance, in which he lived and was able to express and create his works.
