Museo Camera, in collaboration with Lithuanian Embassy to India present "Vilnius, 700 Years Young", a timeless exhibition depicting Vilnius' journey through historical photographs.
Vilnius, Lithuania's capital, marks its 700th anniversary, tracing its roots to Grand Duke Gediminas' visionary dream. From Gediminas' strategic move to Vilnius, creating an early "free economic zone," to the city's cycles of growth and resilience, the images vividly depict its evolution.
Photographers like Józef Czechowicz, Stanislaw Filibert Fleury, and Jan Bu?hak documented Vilnius in various eras, capturing its architectural marvels, daily life, and cultural heritage. The UNESCO-protected old town, echoing archaic elements, juxtaposes with a vibrant modernity that embraces the capital's role as a hub for lasers and jazz.
