This is a unique opportunity to see the work of the most famous Lithuanian creator in the place where the first Lithuanian art gallery was born and where the foundations of professional art education in Lithuania were laid.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Kauno kolegija community will also celebrate the beginning of the new academic year by symbolically raising the flag and saying congratulatory words.<\/span><\/p>\n
