New European urban development regulations stipulated that cemeteries should be located in areas clearly separated from the city. These regulations also took effect in the Russian Empire. Rasos was the first \u201cmodern\u201d cemetery, not only in Vilnius but in Lithuania as a whole, laid out by the Imperial authorities beyond the city limits, away from any parish church, on an undeveloped hilly site.<\/p>\n<p>Before long, it became a pantheon of local Lithuanians, Poles and Belarusians, an architectural monument, a site for national and political demonstrations, and a unique green space within the city. The lives of plants, insects, fungi and birds continue unabated in the cemetery.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition covers the period from the cemetery\u2019s establishment to the end of the Second World War. It tells about its establishment and development, the gravestones and their symbolism, and some of the people who found their final resting place there. It also presents some of its current inhabitants.
