Lithuanian National Museum of Art is the largest national museum in Lithuania collecting, restoring, and conserving art as well as historical objects of cultural value while presenting artefacts of national importance in an astonishing number of exhibition spaces located in the coastal cities and the capital. The Museum is established by Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania. As of 1995, the Museum belongs to the International Council of Museums (ICOM). The institution's origins can be traced to the early 20th century. The Museum started to develop as a public institution with a resurgence of cultural interest following the end of the ban on the Lithuanian language that was imposed by the Russian Empire. A number of art exhibitions at that time donated works to the Lithuanian Art Society, which began to make plans for a permanent facility. The activity was interrupted by World War I.
