The Experiantial Tour

Everything you need to know before you visit — and everything that can only be discovered in person.

Chapter 1

The Building

Every object in this apartment was chosen with purpose. The furniture, the fabrics, the arrangement of each room — all faithfully recreated from the interwar years, when Kaunas’s intellectual elite lived with taste and intention.

Chapter 2

The Apartment

Inside, the apartment has been restored to the precise atmosphere of the 1930s.

The furniture, the objects, the arrangement of each room — chosen with the same deliberate care that Arnas Funkas brought to the original interior. The tulip motif, a recurring symbol of Lithuanian Art Deco, appears throughout: in carvings, in details, in the ornate wooden alcove that Aleksandra Iljinienė specifically requested.

You are not walking through a reconstruction. You are standing inside a room that remembers.

Chapter 3

The Story

The actors are already in the apartment when you arrive.

They are the Iljinas household — mid-conversation, mid-afternoon, living the particular rhythms of a Kaunas that no longer exists. You step into it. What they carry — the social rituals, the small preoccupations, the things left unsaid — belong to the 1930s, but they are not distant. They are happening in the room you are standing in.
