Modestas Paulauskas – a living legend of Lithuanian basketball, whose playing style was not only effective but graceful — like a dance on the court.
At just 20 years old, he became captain of the USSR national team, astonishing the world with his maturity, precision, and court awareness. The Olympic gold medal he won in Munich in 1972 is just one highlight of a truly remarkable career.

The collection on display at the House of Basketball features unique trophies, jerseys, medals, and historical photographs from Modestas Paulauskas’ life — items that reflect not only his personal triumphs but also the golden moments of the Lithuanian national basketball team. This is more than an exhibition — it’s a tribute to a man who inspired generations: as a player, a coach, and a guiding light.

A particularly special honor — Modestas Paulauskas is a member of the FIBA Hall of Fame. This recognition is not only a testament to his extraordinary life but also to the legacy of Lithuania’s basketball excellence.

Come feel the pulse of a legend up close — this collection is sure to make you pause, reflect, smile… and most of all, feel proud.
