Mindaugas Kavaliauskas: It was a rally to support the Act of March 11 and show our unity against Yedinstvo which was preparing to reciprocate to this and other rallies organising events on May 9 (04 04 1990). The weather on that day was great. The photo was taken from a cube bas-relief on which we […]

Saulė: After high school, I got into Kaunas Stepas Žukas Technical School of Applied Arts. It was still called like this in 1996. We, students, would simply call it Stepžukė. My years of studies were probably the happiest of my youth. In high school, I felt different and I couldn’t wait until I graduate, and […]

Liucija: I arrived from the sea coast to study in Vilnius. During the last year, I married a guy from Domeikava. So, Kaunas Castle has become a stop in between Vilnius and Domeikava. And later, between my home and the workplace. Those were deep and poor Soviet times. The bus would leave every our, so […]

Liucija: I remember, when my friend and I, we would go to the Picture Gallery to visit the exhibitions. Back in those days, we liked ceramic works very much. We used to buy large vases and bring tiny ones from other republics for ourselves or to give to our friends. Back in those times, food […]

My mother told me that she would bring me here quite often (I remember those visits like a mirage…), and […]

Greta: If someone asked which place of student life is the dearest to me, I would say that it’s Artists’ House. To be more precise, its café.  When it ceased to exist, I felt like a child that grew up, came back to parents and found its room rented or turned into a storage space. […]

A.K.: Russian Aesthetic Education Centre later received the name of Mstislav Dobuzhinsky. It is still operating in V. Krėvės prospect, not far from the shopping centre used to be called Pasimatymas. I guess most of its visitors back then were children from the neighboring Russian school No. 20, even though later I attended the Lithuanian […]

Greta: It is weird, but Kaunas Castle Bus Stop occupied a big and probably important part of my life. Since I was living in a suburb of Kaunas, Kaunas Castle (as we called it), was a point connecting me with the city and the city with my home. Since the 5th grade or so, I […]
