Vilnius Guggenheim Hermitage Museum information


Winning design by Zaha Hadid

Vilnius Guggenheim Hermitage Museum was a proposed art museum in the city of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. On April 8, 2008, an international jury named Zaha Hadid, a British-Iraqi architect, the winner of the international design competition for the museum.[1] The museum was initially scheduled to open in 2011.[1] Later, it was announced, that museum was scheduled to open in 2013.[2] However, the project was postponed due to alleged illegal channeling of funds to the Jonas Mekas Arts Center and has been under investigation since 2010.[3] The museum project, as of March 2012, was reported as having regained support, including that of the Vilnius mayor, Arturas Zuokas, even though the embezzlement inquiry was still ongoing.[4]
