In the exhibition "Historical Detective: a crown of pearls on a virgin", we invite you to consider whether the rivers of our lands might have contained... pearls. Could our noblewomen have adorned themselves with local river pearls collected in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania? Could it be that the pearl crown mentioned in Lithuanian folklore dates back to these times? What is the purpose of a crown? The search for answers to these questions opens the door to the unexplored layers of our culture... In the exhibition: - presents a collection of pearl jewellery created by artist Lina Krasnovaitė-Siparienė, using the historical technique of fine pearl jewellery, which has practically disappeared in the world; - introduces this technique of jewellery making, which requires extraordinary care, as well as examples of it; - presenting spectacular antique headdresses and other artefacts from Lithuanian museum collections, revealing the beauty and significance of headdresses; - interactively wandering through the intricate labyrinths of the search for pearls in our regions...
