Lithuanian Theatre, Music and Cinema Museum’s virtual exhibition „The Singing Revolution”

In the five years between 1987 and 1991, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia intensified their efforts to achieve freedom and independence from Soviet Union. Differently from the past and from similar movements, however, this time the three Baltic nations adopted a different strategy.

The story of the exhibition is not a story of people holding weapons: it is a story of people holding guitars, microphones, pens, and all the other tools of culture, art, poetry and, particularly, music. For this reason, these five years became known as the Singing Revolution.

In the exhibition you will discover how these events took place and what they meant to Lithuania and Lithuanians.

Lithuanian Theatre, Music and Cinema Museum invites you to explore the exhibition virtually from the comfort of your couch: https://ltmkm.lt/revoliucija/
