A closer relationship with the artworks in the exhibition can be established using a special educational project booklet, which contains creative tasks, texts, and ideas that will inspire visitors to engage in artistic, social, and creative activities.

The exhibition focuses on socially relevant topics
In the exhibition “Fragile Worlds,” V. Kronavitt uses artistic means to explore complex but socially relevant topics today. War, pandemics, ecological problems, political conflicts, media influence, and the human relationship with temporality and the future are ideas that connect the author’s works and invite visitors not only to get to know the exhibition pieces but also to embark on a deeper reflection on our living environment and time.
“Creating this exhibition was inspired by the unrest happening in the world and the realization that humans are powerless to change everything, but at the same time, we must cherish what we have in our lives, and most importantly – time. I often observe my students bored and aimlessly spending time on social networks. I would like visitors who see the exhibition to reflect that time on this earth is limited, to value their loved ones and their world more,” says the exhibition author V. Kronavitt.

The exhibition consists of 10 paintings created with Chinese ink, a video installation, interactive educational tasks, and drawings created by visitors.
Using symbolism, dramatic composition, and expressive color language, the author creates surreal images that invite reflection on the fragility of the world.
The exhibition “Fragile Worlds” – the artist’s return to Palanga
Vilma Kronavitt is from Palanga and has created and worked with cultural events specifically in Palanga for many years. Moreover, the artist’s interest in art began in her hometown. Although the author currently lives and creates in Germany, it is especially important for her to present her work in Lithuania. According to V. Kronavitt, she wants to share paintings with visitors who will see the exhibition in Palanga that remind them of the responsibility for the future of the world.
“My works are gloomy, sometimes even frightening. These are not paintings that people relax by looking at or like to hang in the bedroom before sleep. At this stage of life, I do not want to create bright flower still lifes or peaceful landscapes. My paintings are dramatic, but that is also our reality,” said V. Kronavitt.
“Fragile Worlds” is exhibited in Lithuania for the first time, but the project has already been successfully presented in Germany – in Frankfurt and Fürstenwalde in 2024, and in 2025 at the youth festival held at Neuhardenberg airport. Two new exhibitions are planned in Germany in 2026, as well as a joint project with the Berlin and Brandenburg Ministries of Education.
Opportunity to explore the exhibition with an educational booklet
The exhibition “Fragile Worlds” invites visitors not to remain passive observers. A special educational booklet created by the author will allow a deeper understanding of the exhibited works and the themes explored in them, encouraging visitors to become part of the project, express their thoughts, and creatively engage in a dialogue about today’s global challenges.
The exhibition creator V. Kronavitt is involved in educational activities in Germany, working with children, and group visits to museums and exhibitions have prompted her to complement the “Fragile Worlds” cycle with an interactive experience for visitors.
“Education is intended to make people look more closely at the paintings, engage in the creative process themselves, and delve into the ideas expressed in the works. From my experience, I can say that without a specific task, no matter what the exhibition is, children, and sometimes adults, often look at paintings for only about five minutes, take a few photos, and want to leave.
Therefore, it is important to provide visitors with tasks that encourage them to stop, look closely at what the creator wanted to say, and reflect on it,” said the exhibition author.
The exhibition “Fragile Worlds” is intended for visitors of all ages. It is well suited for group tours, educational activities, team-building events, art, social, and cultural projects. The non-profit educational project by Vilma Kronavitt will encourage visitors to the Antanas Mončys Art Museum in Palanga to consider important contemporary world issues.
The exhibition “Fragile Worlds” is funded by the Palanga City Municipality Administration.
The opening of the exhibition “Fragile Worlds” will take place on September 5 at 5 p.m. at the Antanas Mončys Art Museum, S. Daukanto St. 16, Palanga. The exhibition will run from September 5 to 26 and can be visited from Wednesday to Sunday. Registration for group education – by email info@antanasmoncys.com.
