The Director of the Museum Ar\u016bnas Gel\u016bnas shares the story behind this new symbol:<\/p>\n
\u2018Such institutions like the Lithuanian National Museum of Art are commonly called \u2018umbrella organisations\u2018 \u2013 gathered under one common title are 11 different museums, galleries, and centres in Vilnius, Klaip\u0117da, Palanga, and Juodkrant\u0117. However, engaging in activities diligently, hierarchical relationships may be counter-productive, and this is why we see ourselves as like-minded people sitting at a round table, actively discussing what has always been of the highest interest to us all: ART. This is why the community of the Museum happily accepted the idea for the new logo, introduced by designer Indr\u0117 Klimait\u0117, containing the symbol of a round hendecagon and gathering around in a non-hierarchical manner different art topics, our curators and researchers, curators for collections and specialists of international relations, publishing managers and editors, restorers and digitising specialists, architects and technical team, investment and financial specialists, experts of public relations and marketing specialists, educators and guides, exhibit supervisors, cashiers and guards. Only through persistent communication can this crowd of professionals become a true contemporary museum community. This goal is prominent in the new logo of the Lithuanian National Museum of Art \u2013 a hendecagon with segments each referring to a different department of LNMA and connecting them all through a sense of community.\u2019<\/p>\n
