The freedom of imagination and the language of pictures are the theme and motto of International Children’s Book Day 2025.
To celebrate the Year of Mikolas Konstantinas Čiurlionis – the creator who spoke the most imaginative language of art and music – we are presenting two books from the Museum’s collection of publications – ABC’s BEGINNING and THE WOMAN. Publications touched by the talents of M. K. Čiurlionis. What was he thinking when he painted the rising sun over the roofs of the orchard, what was he thinking when he was picking up the notes?
ABC INTRODUCTION and THE GIRL are special books. In their time, they opened a door for the little man out of the fog of ignorance into a different world. A world of knowledge – of words, numbers, music. They opened the door to a world of scientific light, of creative verses.
Let us unleash our imagination and fly with the wind. In the spring sky. Together with M. K. Čiurlionis…
