tumbled from the presumably chaotic cognitions of designer<br />
Daiva Urbonavičiūtė, is a certain wacky weirdness. Not for the<br />
straight-laced. QOpen 11:00 - 19:00. Closed Sun. JA<br />

best photography shop in Vilnius if not the country, don’t go<br />

things as cable releases, the selection remains rather small.<br />
