  1. 15 Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed

    A fork in a lake. A shark in a roof. A portrait hidden inside fifty steel columns. These sixteen sculptures use cliffs, shadows, water, buildings, light, and even the viewer’s position as part of the work. Some are permanent landmarks; others travel or were created as temporary installations. 🎶 “Mélodie oubliée” — By Luo Li Rong In this workshop photo, Luo Li Rong uses a torch on the bronze surface of Mélodie oubliée. The finished work is 205 cm tall and weighs 250 kg, […]

  3. "When the #Ginsburg family gathered in #Kaunas on June 22, 1941, fourteen of them spent the day arguing over a single question. Should they flee east behind the retreating #Soviets, or stay? They weighed the #Germans. Some recalled the German occupation of the #FirstWorldWar and reasoned that the Germans were not so bad, that life would be harder but better than under the #Communists. They decided to stay. Of the fourteen who sat together that day, #WaldemarGinsburg alone survived the war. Years later he explained what they had failed to anticipate. They had expected trouble from the Germans, “but the trouble came from a direction which we did not expect.”

    That sentence contains the history of the two weeks that followed. Between June 22 and July 6, 1941, the #Jews of Kaunas learned that the most immediate threat to their lives was not the invading army. It was the people among whom they had lived. Neighbors. Tradesmen. Men from their own streets."

  4. Museum of the History of Lithuanian Medicine and Pharmacy is a fascinating place in Kaunas, well worth visiting :ablobcatattention: :kaunas:

    The exhibition depicts the end of 19th century Lithuanian City Pharmacy. The structure of the pharmacy is introduced: oficina (prescription room), cocteria, medicinal materials stock room, laboratory, basement, doctors’ offices. You can also learn about the beginning of higher medical education in Kaunas.

  6. “Come to Lithuania,” they said. “Put your feet up and relax,” they said. 😅

  7. We just arrived in Kaunas 🇱🇹 and I started testing my magnetic artworks in the streets for the first time.
    This is the beginning of a new series — Art Travels — where I explore cities through street art, architecture, food, and small details… while leaving a bit of my own work behind.

    Durch ein klei­nes Miss­ver­ständ­nis waren wir heu­te deut­lich zu früh am Bahn­hof, aber was macht man, wenn man 1,5 Stun­den Zeit hat an einem Bahn­hof, der noch nicht ein­mal ein Café hat? Rich­tig, man ver­lässt ihn gleich wie­der und sucht sich einen inter­es­san­te­ren Ort in der Nähe. Hin­kom­men muss man halt mal, was nicht ganz ein­fach ist, denn die Stras­sen rund um den Bahn­hof von Kau­nas sind zu […]

    Es gibt doch sicher die eine Fra­ge, die euch alle inter­es­siert und ihr war­tet seit bald zwei Wochen dar­auf, dass ich euch genau die beant­wor­te: Wie ist es mit dem Bier hier in Litau­en? Nun ja, es ist kom­pli­ziert. Litau­en hat näm­lich ein Alko­hol­pro­blem, und zwar ein ziem­li­ches. In den diver­sen Sta­tis­ti­ken liegt das Land knapp vor oder hin­ter Tsche­chi­en, Deutsch­land und ande­ren grossen […]

    Als der Ers­te Welt­krieg im Eisen­bahn­wag­gon von Com­piè­g­ne been­det wur­de, so war die­ses Kapi­tel der euro­päi­schen Geschich­te noch lan­ge nicht abge­schlos­sen. Dies gilt vor allem für den Teil Ost­eu­ro­pas, in dem wir uns gera­de befin­den. Für Polen, Litau­en und die Sowjet­uni­on hat die­se Zeit des chao­ti­schen Krie­ges in wech­seln­den Zusam­men­set­zun­gen noch ein paar Jah­re län­ger gedau­ert und auch […]
