Project description

The Lost Shtetl, a 3,213.43 m² museum of exceptional architecture, tells the story of Lithuania's Jewish communities. The distinctive design by Finnish architects Lahdelma & Mahlamäki is complemented by engineering solutions that achieve energy performance class A+.


The museum's capabilities were expanded with an adjoining 84 m² cinema hall for educational and cultural events, while a landscaped 1.27 ha park with visitor parking areas and utility networks completes the site.

In 2026, the museum became the first in the Baltic States to be named among the world's most beautiful museums by Prix Versailles.
