What Lietuvos nacionalinis dailės muziejus | Lithuanian National Museum of Art does

The Lithuanian National Museum of Art (Lietuvos nacionalinis dailės muziejus, LNDM) is a state budgetary institution under the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture, operating as Lithuania's national art museum complex. Headquartered at Didžioji g. 4 in Vilnius, LNDM operates nine branches across four Lithuanian regions: five galleries in Vilnius (Vilnius Painting Gallery, National Art Gallery, Radvilos Palace Art Museum, Museum of Applied Arts and Design, Vytautas Kasiulis Art Museum), two in Klaipėda (Pranas Domšaitis Gallery and Clock Museum), the Palanga Amber Museum, and the seasonal Pamario Gallery in Neringa. The museum holds Lithuania's most comprehensive art collection spanning 18th–21st centuries, including significant holdings of Lithuanian diaspora art, Western European paintings, and the world's largest amber collection at Palanga.

Beyond exhibitions, LNDM operates three specialized centers: the Prano Gudyno Restoration Centre (Lithuania's premier art conservation facility, covering paintings, textiles, ceramics, metalwork, and polychrome sculpture); the LM ISC LIMIS Centre (the national museum information system connecting all Lithuanian museums via the www.limis.lt portal); and a Publishing Division producing exhibition catalogues, annuals (Metraštis), and scholarly works. The museum's library and archive hold approximately 77,000 units, contributing to the LIBIS national union catalogue.

LNDM's business model combines direct state budget appropriations (primary), ticket sales (full-price 5€, reduced 2.50€), e-commerce publication sales via shop.lndm.lt, educational program fees (3€/student, 5€/adult at Pamario Galerija), corporate sponsorship (BTA, Ad Rem, JCDecaux, LRT), and EU/international project funding for digitization and restoration. Distribution spans nine physical branches, an online ticketing platform (bilietai.lndm.lt), the Bloomberg Connects global digital platform, the Vilnius Pass tourist card partnership, and a loyalty program (Bičiulių kortelė / Friends Card; Šeimos kortelė / Family Card). Primary customers are general public visitors, tourists, students/educational institutions, art scholars, and other Lithuanian museums using LIMIS infrastructure.
