In the exhibition 'Shaping the Landscape', projections are presented of the cityscape of Vilnius from olden times to the end of the Soviet era. The exhibition contains more than 300 pieces (sketches, plans, maps, graphic art, paintings and photographs) presenting practices that collectively formed the landscape: the realised and unrealised ideas of urban planners, architects, landscape architects, gardeners and natural scientists. Processes in the emerging discipline of landscape design, grouped around territorial and theoretical definitions, are represented from this period.

The exhibits are gathered from various museum collections, research institutes, libraries, government and personal archives. The plan for the park at Lentvaris by Edouard and René-Edouard André, which is preserved in France, will be displayed in Lithuania for the first time.
