During the interwar period, when national borders were changing very fast, Kaunas became the epicentre of significant events in Lithuanian and European history. The legacy of this period is the more than 6,000 buildings built in the spirit of modernism that have survived to this day. The modern architecture of Kaunas has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The exhibition presents photographs by Martynas Plepys that were selected specifically for the application for the nomination of Kaunas Modern Architecture as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and which illustrate the contemporary photographer's relationship with his hometown.
