Over the course of the following years, its exhibition items, many from earlier Jewish museums in Lithuania, were brought together. It received its current name in 1997, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the death of the Talmudic scholar Vilna Gaon.\r\n"@eng . . . _:B040f0fad5c64caf69b012445e9349c11 . _:Bc41376a9a56535a4eda4ecacd3ab8142 .
