Yesterday, on September 22, we celebrated Culture Day and the 150th anniversary of M. K. \u010ciurlionis\u2019 birth.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
The Anyk\u0161\u010diai Arts Center team set out on a meaningful educational trip. We\u2019d like to share this inspiring experience with you and warmly invite you to visit these museums as well! <\/h5>\n
Our first stop was the Bir\u017e\u0173 kra\u0161to muziejus S\u0116LA<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/h5>\n
There, together with our colleagues from the Zarasai Regional Museum, we were warmly welcomed by museum director Edita Lansbergien\u0117. We explored the magnificent spaces of Bir\u017eai Castle and heard fascinating stories that sparked our curiosity. Among the highlights was one of the most impressive monuments of 16th-century printing in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania\u2014the Brest (Radziwi\u0142\u0142) Bible. We also visited exhibitions on folk art, religions, and more. A rare treat was the chance to hear the sound of a 17th-century portable organ (organetto). <\/h5>\n
Lina Kuncyt\u0117, head of the Visitors\u2019 Services, Education, and Communication Department, introduced us to the ethnographic, ethnocultural, archaeological, and educational sections of the Bir\u017eai Museum. We learned about the history of Bir\u017eai town, manors, and fortress from the 16th\u201318th centuries, the era of the Tyszkiewicz Counts, and the arsenal of Bir\u017eai Fortress, where we saw an exhibition of hussar weaponry and armor brought from Poland. <\/h5>\n
Our journey then took us to Kupi\u0161kis, where guide Nida Galvanauskien\u0117 greeted us. We discovered new facts about the town\u2019s landmarks, the famous Lamb sculpture, the history of the local Jewish community, and we visited the library housed in a former synagogue as well as the Church of the Ascension of Christ. <\/h5>\n
Finally, we stopped by the Kupi\u0161kis Museum, where museum specialist Migl\u0117 Zakarauskait\u0117 presented an exhibition of folk artists\u2019 works, ethnographic artifacts, and antique toys. We learned about the traditions of old Kupi\u0161kis weddings and saw the accompanying displays. We admired the bright, welcoming museum spaces and discussed opportunities for future collaboration with museum director Kostas Malakauskas. <\/h5>\n
We sincerely thank our fellow museum professionals for their time and hospitality, and we return home full of new ideas!<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
