Mykolas Žilinskas (1904–1992) was one of the most enigmatic figures and the leading art collector in 20th-century Lithuanian cultural history. Žilinskas, an émigré in West Berlin, amassed a collection of more than 1,600 works. He donated them to his country of birth, expressing his wish to strengthen the Lithuanian national spirit. Old Masters’ paintings, historical decorative arts and works by contemporary artists make up the best of the collection.
