The Lentvaris Church and Its Décor 1905–1943: exhibition catalogue

The Lentvaris Church and Its Décor 1905–1943: exhibition catalogue. Compiler Giedrė Jankevičiūtė. Vilnius: Bažnytinio paveldo muziejus, 2012, 158 p.

The catalogue represents the exhibition dedicated to the construction and décor history of the Lentvaris church. It can be read as a story of fruitful cooperation of Poles and Lithuanians in the middle of the 20^th century, which encourages to revise the still prevailing belief in the impossibility of harmonious relations of these two national groups in the Vilnius region.

The core of the exhibition was made up of exhibits of the Church Heritage Museum, among them some were taken over from Lentvaris parish in 2010– 2011: a valuable collection of liturgical textiles, several metal artefacts, and documents having the status of an artwork – designs of the church architecture and décor.

The catalogue was published in Lithuanian with a summary in English.
