For partners
“Adresų istorija ” is a National museum of Lithuania platform where enthusiasts of Vilnius’ past collect and publish information about the city’s old addresses used until 1945. Reliable and accurate historical data reveals the change of addresses in Vilnius and opens the door to a deeper understanding of the city’s history.
The project team is a group of colleagues from the Museum. We are open to partnerships, so if you have any ideas or suggestions on how we could collaborate or would like to learn more about the project, please contact us at [email protected].
This project won the “HACKcultureATHON” cultural hackathon competition, which was organized for the first time in Lithuania in 2024.
