Souvenirs - things that are almost invisible in everyday life, collecting a layer of dust - are reliable witnesses of their time. This book is the first to invite a closer look at the souvenirs of Vilnius, which can tell about the different communities of the city, the tensions of the first half of the XXth century without sharing Vilnius, the city through the eyes of foreigners, its colonization and Sovietization. At the same time, the history of design and daily life in Vilnius from the middle of the XVIIIth century to our time is told here. In the book "The wolf, the tower and the church. Vilnius souvenirs" presents one and a half hundred souvenirs, and they are accompanied by funny, sad or curious stories. Articles by art historians and... one detective story will help to better understand how souvenirs are born and keep lying on the shelves of our homes.
