My Lithuanian friend Ignas recently sent me this bank photo taken in Kaunas for my flickr Bank Photos group.
Ignas is one of my friends who, knowing that I like to see banks from around the world, takes photos of banks for me. Thank-you very much, Ignas!

I dedicate this series to my Lithuanian friend Ignas!
Unveiled in 1940, the Lithuanian Room's decorations represent the community's love for their homeland and farming. The wallpaper is made of hand-spun linen in a geometric pattern called the "path of the birds". The wood blackboard frame, door and wall decorations were carved with motifs of greenery native to Lithuania.
The friezes near the ceiling were inscribed with names of famous and important Lithuanians. You may notice the black wood professor's chair at a corner of the room. This chair was made from precious bog oak, which is oak wood that had been submerged into bogs for years to obtain the dark hue. Wood submerged into bogs is not ready to be retrieved for use until several generations later.
The lead window frames were also hand-made to create the sunburst patterns, a reminder of the importance of nature's blessings in an agricultural society.
Near the window is a wood carving of a mother at a spinning wheel with her child. This is known as the School of Sorrows and is a traditional symbol of Lithuanian language and culture preservation during times of oppression. The story tells a mother teaching her child the Lithuanian language and history at home when the Russian invaders forbade that at school.
Finally, the back wall of the classroom is a fresco showing Two Kings who protect the most precious things: community, village life and land. Beyond the dark forest, the bright stars represent hope and light even in dark difficult times.

The Nationality Rooms are located in the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning building. The rooms are gifts to the university from Pittsburgh's ethnic communities. Each room has been designed to represent the culture of the nation represented. The rooms function as university classrooms and are not open all the time for the public to explore particularly during school terms. Visitors are advised to contact the University for opening times and guided tours.

Partial quote from the Baltic Times newspaper:
"[Office Center 1000] is A curvaceous, luminous, 10-floor office building designed in the form of a LTL 1,000 banknote, Office Center 1000 is being touted locally as one of the Baltic region's most daring and original construction projects...
"At around the same time we were assessing some of the design projects for a new office building in 2005, Lithuania was one of two new EU member states applying to join the euro zone. We happened to come across a very elegant banknote dating from 1926, and decided to use it as our overall theme."
The exterior consists of 4,500 different pieces of glass with enamel designs, which are being slotted together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. The glass was made in the Netherlands and shipped over, and it can, Plenta assures, withstand even the most extreme Lithuanian weather.
Acclaimed Dutch artist Rob Borgmann, managing director of Glass Printing International and a specialist of the "screenprinting" technique of placing images on glass for use in building facades, gave valuable advice on the Kaunas project. He previously worked on bold architectural projects such as the multicolored Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision near Amsterdam."
