This museum displays the creative legacy of Samuel Bak, who was born in Vilnius and held his first exhibition inside the Vilna Ghetto. The collection, which the artist donated to Lithuania, range from 1945 to 2012. This is the first and only museum in the world dedicated to the work of this artist. The works of art in the modern exhibition are complemented by audio recordings of the artist’s own thoughts and stories. Also on display is the book that Bak drew in when he was forced into the Vilna Ghetto at the age of nine.
