Vilnius’ MO Modern Art Museum set to open on Oct. 18

Viktoras Butkus, the initiator of the museum, announced the opening date to journalists on Thursday.

Butkus said at a news conference that Daniel Libeskind, a world-renowned architect, stuck to his style in designing the museum.

“What Daniel has created is some kind of miracle, something I couldn’t imagine when I saw the first drawings,” he said.
