Adomas Petrauskas Museum

1983

5 out of 5

(2 reviews)

In 1969, Adomas Petrauskas opened the doors of his barn to the first visitors, showcasing a self-prepared exhibition of ethnographic artifacts and archaeological finds. His passion for collecting antiques garnered support from the then-leaders of Antašava collective farm, Vytautas Notkus and Albinas Vaižmužis, which helped the museum expand. A self-taught village craftsman, Jonas Laužikas, constructed and erected a unique tower-building on the museum premises.
