The city council gave a go-ahead to the proposal of Vytautas Magnus University to close the institute that was established 12 years ago.

The institution stored, analyzed and exhibited cultural, political and scientific legacy of expatriate organizations and individuals.

Established last year, Adamkus' library-museum has taken over all functions of the institute and broadened the area of its operations. Adamkus was Lithuania's president in 1998-2003 and 2004-2009.

The library-museum aims to become a centre of culture, art and science, mainly focusing on research in Lithuania's political, economic and cultural life in the 20th and the 21st century.
