ENIn 2015, the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania declared the year of Ethnographic regions. Coordinators of the project "The Path of Lithuanian Museums" developed significant theme for ethno culture "The Beauty of Folk Art". Marija Kuodienė established a small travelling exhibition "Mother of God in Lithuanian Folk Art" from the folk sculpture collection of the Lithuanian Art Museum (LAM). Exhibition has revealed essential life stages of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her importance for a folk Christian tradition, the beauty of folk sculpture. The topic was significantly supplemented by the exhibition "Lithuanian Folk Art Tradition in Vytautas Ignas Creative Work" designed by Irena Dobrovolskaitė. On the 29th of May - the 9th of July 2015, both exhibitions were displayed in Veisėjai Region Musem (the branch of Lazdijai Museum). Exhibitions attracted great attention from visitors. On 10th July 2015, exhibitions have been transferred and further exhibited in Marijampolė, in the Memorial Museum of the President of Lithuania K. Grinius. Ancient folk sculpture and exhibition of the famous contemporary graphic artist V. Ignas perfectly reflected the ethno-cultural heritage and the influence of traditional values to the further development of the Lithuanian art. Combined exhibition impressively developed and supplemented the "The Path of Lithuanian Museums" program and Lithuanian folk art theme.
