The Wroblewski Library is setting up a museum to tell the history of the Lithuanian book and scholarly thought. Universal book museums of this kind, most often established at great libraries, have long existed in many European cities. The Wroblewski library holds copious historic collections from clay cuneiform tablets to various 19th-20th-century documents important for the history of Lithuania. After the reconstruction of the Library, this cultural treasury will be open for public viewing.

The metaphor of Bibliopolis or the city (state) of books has been selected as best representing the idea of the book museum. This metaphor serves to embody a consistent museum narrative on the development of the books (in a broad sense) and their significance for our culture. Bibliopolis will have an Old Town, New Town and suburbs. Visitors to the Old Town will be able to view the display "Prayer House": a Catholic and an Orthodox churches, a synagogue, a kenesa, and a mosque (the topic "Book and Faith"). "Artisan Guilds" will represent such vital topics for the history of the book as the emergence and spread of writing in Lithuania, paper production, printing and bookbinding. The display entitled "University" will be dedicated to the development of scholarship and research.

The display called "Market" will expand on a phenomenon unique for the Lithuanian book history, book smuggling. "Prison" will deal with censorship, and "Hospital", with the anatomy of the book and with its "healing", i. e. restoration and conservation. "Fashion House" will explore various aspects of the development of Lithuanian book art. Special displays will be dedicated to the history of the Wroblewski Library, and to its founder, Tadeusz Wróblewski. There also are planned other topics for various aspects of the book and related issues of everyday life.
