The focus of The Centre for Wooden Architecture is wooden urban architecture, its heritage and the craftsmanship behind it. The centre also introduces visitors to modern-day environmentally-friendly solutions and promotes an approach to urban life that is based on the principles of sustainable development. The most important information on wooden urban architecture is presented to visitors in the centre’s permanent exhibition. The centre is located in the district of Užupis, in an authentic restored wooden building. The purpose of the centre is to bring together people that are enthusiasts of sustainable city living and wooden architecture, as well as encourage and educate those who would like to contribute to its creation. 

In 2025, the museum became known as The Centre for Wooden Architecture, a branch of the Vilnius City Museum. That same year, the municipal government of Vilnius entrusted two wooden buildings in the district of Šnipiškės to its care: Giedraičių g. 24 and Kintų g. 10. In the future, the former will become home to a communal space for the museum and the district of Šnipiškės, while the latter will be transformed into a workshop for restoring wooden architectural details, where craftsmen will provide consultation to the owners of wooden buildings.
