The 11th Republican Triennial of Medals

The 11th republican triennial exhibition of medals presents medals, medal compositions and small-scale works created by various artists. The first republican triennial of medals took place in 1984, and since that time the tradition has been continued for more than two decades.

The exhibition addresses various themes: commemoration of prominent people, events and a great many phenomena of public life. Some of the medals were created during the international residencies of medallists held in Telšiai from 2012 to 2016. The exhibition also contains works created earlier but not previously exhibited in republican triennials of medals.
