The Castellan’s House is the newest exhibition unit of the National Museum of Lithuania, presenting Lithuania’s history, culture and the people who contributed to the country’s development, as well as introducing visitors to the key ideas that shaped Lithuania’s identity.

The main factors which determined Lithuania’s history and culture are presented under the following topics: Creation, Beliefs, Battles, Turning Points, Global Ties, and Faces. Each topic is presented in a separate exhibition hall, covering key events and phenomena from ancient times to the present day. Between a dozen and several dozen concise stories on each topic reflect the country’s experience. The aim is to geographically cover the ever-changing past of Lithuanian history, focusing more on the core of the country.

The main exhibition of the Castellan’s House is complemented by a story in the cellars about the craft of the castellan, castellany, stonemasonry and the history of the city of Vilnius 200 years ago.
