Exhibition in Vilnius unveils newly recovered royal regalia hidden during World War II

A new exhibition at the Museum of Church Heritage in Vilnius displays recently recovered royal regalia, including crowns, a sceptre, and an orb, which were hidden during World War II to prevent their destruction. These items, belonging to Lithuanian and Polish rulers such as Alexander Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria, were discovered in the underground vaults of Vilnius Cathedral in late 2024. The exhibition, titled 'Hidden Within,' highlights the history of the cathedral's treasure, including its concealment during times of conflict, notably in 1939 and again in 1991. Some artifacts have been restored to their original appearance, while others remain as they were found. The exhibition runs until the end of January next year.
