Kaunas citizens of interwar period: what did they eat? How did they dress? What jobs did people have and how were they partying? How many types of ice cream were put on a market by a milk company „Pienocentras“? How did the students from Faculcy of Medicine look and what were they learning? What was going on in Kaunas Artists‘ House?

We will find out that and more on November 28th, 6 pm. at Kaunas Artist’s House where a presentation of a book “Kai Kaunas buvo Kaunas. Pasivaikščiojimai po miestą 1938 m.” takes place. The book will be presented by the author, historian Giedrė Milerytė–Japertienė, architecture and heritage specialist Vaidas Petrulis, historian, political scientist Aistė Lazauskienė.

The event will be moderated by the journalist Raminta Jonykaitė.

The book „When Kaunas was Kaunas“ written by a historian Giedre Mileryte-Japartiene takes its readers back to some beautiful summer days of 1938 and shows the ‚temporary capital‘ Kaunas in eyes of a local official of that time. The man takes a train from Klaipeda to Kaunas to manage the affairs in Ministry of Finance, as well as to spend some good time in a city that was then rapidly becoming more beautiful and modern than ever before. Let‘s take that adventurous yet mysterious trip to the temporary capital Kaunas together.

The event will be held in Lithuanian, however, you’re welcome

to attend with your Lithuanian – English translator!
