Exhibition "Frequency of Freedom"

The history of freedom pulses – sometimes fading, sometimes intensifying. Uprisings, the Wars of Independence, the partisan war, the dissident movement, the National Revival, and the January events of 1991 – all of them connect into a recurring frequency of freedom.

Gediminas' Tower is a silent witness to Lithuania's struggles for freedom. For many years, the remains of the participants of the 1863–1864 uprising who were sentenced to death rested at its foot. During the Wars of Independence, on January 1, 1919, the flag of the State of Lithuania was raised on the tower for the first time. During the years of Soviet occupation, political prisoners returning to their homeland from labor camps would rush to Gediminas' Tower to commemorate the moment. The Baltic Way stretched from here, and in January 1991, volunteers defending the tricolor on Gediminas' Tower saw tanks rolling toward the parliament building.

The frequency of freedom ideas spread through everything – through the noise of propaganda, threats, fear, and restrictions. Each generation added its own voice to the pulse of freedom.

The exhibition "Frequency of Freedom" will be open to visitors starting August 23 at 3:00 PM.
