A place worth remembering
A wooden house with a wider remit
The Centre for Wooden Architecture works from a restored wooden house in Užupis. Go Vilnius reports that in 2025 the centre also took two wooden buildings in Šnipiškės into its care; a workshop for restoring architectural details was planned for one of them.[1]
Inside a former power station
The Energy and Technology Museum uses Vilnius’s first central power station as its setting. Go Vilnius describes the display as authentic plant equipment, including turbines and generators.[2]

Go Vilnius says the Energy and Technology Museum opened in 2003 in only 17 percent of the industrial site. Reconstruction finished in autumn 2008 with EU structural funds, and the museum grew from 800 m² to 5,000 m².[2]
