Art libraries of Lithuania

Extract

Of the numerous libraries dealing with art documentation in Lithuania, it is the National Library which holds the most significant collection. The exhibition programme of its Arts Department is particularly noteworthy: displays of items from the collection travel all over the country and beyond its borders to foreign lands, including the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Germany, Ireland and Finland. The enthusiasm generated has encouraged similar activities in other libraries, as is described in the directory of Lithuanian art libraries which concludes this article.
