The M. K. Čiurlionis National Art Museum is dedicated to exhibiting
and publicizing the works of the painter and musician M.K.
Čiurlionis (1875–1911). The museum was founded in 1921. Čiurlionis
contributed to symbolism and art nouveau
and was representative of the fin de siècle
epoch. During his short life he composed about 250 pieces of music and created
about 300 paintings. The majority of his paintings are housed in the M. K. Čiurlionis National Art Museum
in Kaunas.
His works have had a profound influence on modern Lithuanian culture. The
asteroid 2420 Čiurlionis is named after him.
