Lonely Planet review for John Paul II Collection

The latter houses the John Paul II Collection, an art collection donated to the Catholic Church by the Carrol-Porczyński family. It’s quite a surprise to find the likes of Dali, Van Gogh, Constable, Rubens, Goya and Renoir gracing the walls of a fairly non-descript museum, and to normally have them all to yourself. Polish artists are also represented, including Warsaw-born Wojciech Gerson (1831–1901), whose massive Baptism of Lithuania (1889), which beautifully captures Lithuania’s conversion to Christianity, is highly expressive despite lacking colour.
