Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Sapiegu Rumai
A few centuries ago, when the Sapieha Palace bustled with the aristocracy of The Grand Duchy of Lithuania, art was an integral feature of the daily life and wealth of the palace owners and their guests. Restored and reopened in spring 2024, the palace promises to enrich everyone with culture.
Resurrected from the ruins, the Sapieha Palace aims to become a vibrant and lively place on the cultural map of Vilnius, inspiring, educating and enabling all members of society to broaden their cultural horizons in a unique environment. Through various activities, the Sapieha Palace actualisies questions about preserving and adapting its heritage to contemporary life, and aims to create an open and harmonious relationship with the environment and various communities. For this reason, the spaces of the palace have been adapted not only for the display of art and artefacts but for various events and the everyday life of Vilnius residents. In the future, there will be a café and a reading room, and the ground floor is always open for visits free of charge.
