Explore the brilliance of jeweller Alex Šepkus’s (real name Aleksandras Šepkus) works showcased in the museum’s treasury. Renowned for his eponymous jewellery house in Manhattan, New York, Šepkus earned the prestigious title of New Designer of the Year in 1993. His exquisite pieces have graced nearly 150 art galleries globally.
