The Modern Art Centre is a non-profit institution founded by philanthropists Viktoras Butkus and Danguole Butkienė in 2009. It seeks to accumulate a representative collection of Lithuanian visual art from 1960 onwards and to make it accessible to the broadest possible audience. Currently, the MAC collection boasts 226 names and more than 4,000 pieces of art, including paintings, drawings, prints, pieces of sculpture, photography, and video art.
