Europos Parkas was founded in 1991 by Lithuanian sculptor Gintaras Karosas. The exhibition spans an area of 55 hectares and is visited by over 60,000 people annually. The goal of the museum is to give an artistic significance to the geographic centre (as determined by the French National Geographic Institute in 1989) of the European continent and to present the best of Lithuanian and international modern art achievements. While enjoying the treasured landscape of the park, you will at the same time discover the admirable world of art. The sculptures are permanently exhibited amidst beautiful rolling hills, woodlands and grasslands dotted with natural springs. The yellow blossoms of the grassland in the spring time and the faded colours of the misty autumn add an atmospheric backdrop to the sculptures. This harmonious whole with the light changing as the day progresses makes a lasting impression.

Gediminas, the most famous of Lithuania’s medieval grant dukes, once fell asleep during a hunting trip on top of the hill by a confluence of ricers. He dreamed of a huge iron wolf howling the howl of 100 wolves. A pagan high priest interpreted the dream as meaning he should build an impenetrable castle and city in that place. That city became Vilnius. The upper part of the castle has lasted for seven centuries and the view from the top is the most spectacular in town.
