This previous church now houses a rather boring museum.
It's perfectly enough to view the church from outside and skip the museum itself.

They’ve attempted to restore this place and it looks tacky now. It was nice to grab a picture of though

The harmonious whitewashed façade of St. Michael is built in a transitional style from Renaissance into Baroque; there are twin towers with elegant Baroque spires on both sides. The façade is divided by pilasters with original capitals decorated with floral motifs; the pediment has a frieze, also with floral motifs. Atop the belfry sits an iron weathervane (18th century) representing Saint Michael the Archangel crushing the devil underfoot.
The interior is rich but austere.

St.Michael's church is famous for a mausoleum of the Sapiega family. The church gets a lot of light that's why it was decided to have a museum here. Treasury of Vilnius Cathedral is on display here. The audio guide is included in the ticket price (4.5 euro) and helps to understand the history of the discovered treasury and meaning of liturgical artefacts. English tours are held on Fridays at 4pm. Worth to visit.

It is a beautiful baroque church, it is a museum of church art – with several quite interesting objects and (which is less known) a place for some excellent pics in the churchyard. Mind – the best ones can be doe only in winter, when snow adorns decorative columns and red of St. Anns in the backround is especially bright. The ticket to the museum costs 4.50 EUR (regular adult), there are also more expensive combined tickets to two or three more objects (Crypts and bell tower of the Cathedral).

The former Roman Catholic church of St. Michael the Archangel, located in the Old Town, on the right bank of the Vilnia River, was built for a convent of Bernardine nuns. Nowadays, it hosts the Church Heritage Museum. It has been rebuilt and renovated several times, and the church has been closed down as well. A Baroque belfry was added in the 18th century. From 1972 to 2006 the Museum of Architecture operated in the church facilities. Later, in 2009 was established the Church Heritage Museum that presents and exhibits the oldest sacral valuables, including the exposition of the treasury of Vilnius Cathedral. Besides, lectures, concerts, book presentations and more are held in the Museum. The educational programs introduce the history of Lithuanian Church, sacral art and architecture. The facade with twin towers features a transitional style from Renaissance into Baroque. Atop the belfry sits an iron weather vane representing Saint Michael the Archangel crushing the devil underfoot. All in all, convenient location, near other sights. Well kept. Well presented exhibits. Worth a visit.

This one is one of the many churches of Vilnius. This church has a different look; it looks good in night.

Beautiful Renaissance style church situated at Sv Mykolo 9. Built during the early 17th century. Worth a visit.
