Reusing architecture – the future of wooden heritage in Vilnius
In 2023, the Museum of Urban Wooden Architecture was awarded the European Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards for conservation and adaptive reuse. This award was given not only for the sensitive restoration of the museum’s building, but also for the museum’s active involvement in preserving and promoting Vilnius’ historic wooden architecture and the craftsmanship of woodworkers. The presentation focuses on the preservation and reuse of old wooden buildings and their elements as an act of sustainability.
