A new exhibition presenting Lithuanian history opens at Pilininkas's House. It is the newest exhibition unit of the National Museum of Lithuania, presenting Lithuanian history, culture and people who have contributed to the country's development, as well as introducing visitors to the key ideas that have shaped Lithuania's identity. Creation, Beliefs, Struggles, Historical Fractures, Global Links, Faces. Each theme is presented in a separate exhibition hall and covers the most important events and phenomena from ancient times to the present day. The history of this modest house, built in the 16th century, is extraordinary. It is one of the oldest and best-preserved buildings of the Vilnius Castle Estate. Until the 18th century, it was the headquarters of the Vilnius castle owners. The Vilnius Castle Estate began to emerge in the 13th century, along with the Lithuanian state. It was constantly undergoing construction and renovation. Many people lived here. It is therefore not surprising that in the middle of the 15th century, the office of a castle keeper was created. The Vilnius castellan was appointed by the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
