Day 61. A. Vassiliev exhibitions. Part III. Tamed Nature. 18th - 21st Century.


Today, on February 22, my work collegues and I have visited one of  fashion historian's Alexandre Vasilyev exhibitions.

Inspired by Nature of Africa


This time it was Exhibition: Tamed Nature. 18th - 21st Century.
As our guide said it was the ninth Alexandre Vasilyev exhibition here in Vilnius.
Location: the Museum of Applied Arts which is a part of the Lithuanian Art Musem.


All the info about the museum you can find here.

The Museum of Applied Arts was established in 1987 in the reconstructed historical Arsenal, mentioned in the middle of 16th century annals as a part of the Lower Castle complex. In the middle of 15th century the eastern masonry wall of the Lower Castle was built. The bottom of the wall was mostly large stone masonry. At the confluence of the rivers Neris and Vilnele the eastern wall terminated in a square brickwork tower. The fragments of this tower can bee seen upon entering the museum on the right side the stairs. The eastern defensive wall was found to contain four-meter tall and three-meter wide pointed arch castle gate, which obviously led to the so called Crooked castle. Today thsi gate admits the visitors of the exhibition.

The museum hosts temporary exhibitions as well as international projects, educational sessions, and

As I mentioned above, It's not the first exhibition of Alexandre Vassiliev hosted by the Museum of Applied Arts.
