Today all museums in Lithuania use the services provided by Pranas Gudynas Centre for Restoration. Its employees are highly qualified restoration specialists who research, conserve, and restore art works, historical as well as archaeological artefacts. Another important branch of the Museum is Lithuanian Museums’ Centre for Information, Digitisation and LIMIS centre. Its mission is to organise and coordinate the digitisation of Museums’ valuables, to present Lithuania's national holdings on international portals and thus to enrich European digital collections.
