Photography Exhibition
(In)Visible Lithuanian Hillforts

2 – 9 April 2020
Gallery AMZ

To this day, Lithuania is famous for its highest density of hillforts. Numerous fortified hills enrich the magnificent layout of Lithuania's natural landscape. With almost a thousand archaeological monuments, which were in use for more than two millennia, Lithuania is sometimes even called the Land of Hillforts. The exhibition presents photographs of the most beautiful hillforts and the unique jewelry worn by their inhabitants – direct Lithuanian ancestors. The decorative style of Baltic jewelry stands out in the European context, but, at the same time, shares some design patterns with other cultures. A separate part of the exhibition is dedicated to a documentary about the most extraordinary archaeological discovery in Lithuania – a mass grave of the 1863 and 1864 Uprising, which was uncovered at the Gediminas Castle Hill in Vilnius.
