Reviews of Monuments in Vilnius
wait, he wasn't lithuanian? like I am:(
Worth hunting out when in Vilnius.
We were in Vilnius , late May, and walked through the park to get to the thousands of steps mounting to the Three Crosses....and astounded by the sight! Disappointed to not be able to find a stature of it in any of the 5 shops I sought out. I
Frank was great and deserves a memorial.
This is why I just love this part of the world! Fantastic !!
Kudos to Lithuania for honoring the late great Frank Zappa!
Uncle Frank for president!
I went to see it and met some people from Germany who also love Zappa's music. It's great that there is such a monument.
This is cool. Gotta get there to see it.
What a surprise to find a memorial to the great Frank Zappa in the centre of Vilnius! With all that I learned from my visit to the Baltics combined with my love of the music of Frank Zappa the connections seem obvious to me now. I hope many Vilnius visiters get to visit this unusual special place if only for a couple of minutes while walking around the old town like I did.
The 'square' surrounding Frank Zappa's monument recently got a moderate facelift thanks to the initiative of some enterprising art school students who painted over some of the less inspired 'illegal' artworks, replacing them with a bunch of original works. This is something that's needed to happen for a while in our opinion and the space looks better now than it did before.
Sure, we all love Frank and mourn his passing, but this monument doesn't really do him justice and the likeness is a bit iffy, sorry to say. And what's with the really tall cylinder his bust is on? Frank was the King of Quirk, but this monument sort of fails to honor that--it's just aloof and ultimately head-scratching. Certainly more could be done with this space. Get out your brushes and spray cans and get to it.
Frank Zappa rules!!!!!!!!!!!!
