Jonas Biliūnas Homestead-Museum

Not rated yetNiūronys

In the old (left) half of the house at J. Biliūnas's birthplace homestead, in the former living room, there is now a small exhibition of various memorial items – the modest furniture and household items that belonged to the Biliūnas homestead: an old table, a bed, a dresser from the days of serfdom, a lamp, long benches along the walls and a towel rack with a linen towel. The furniture belonged to J. Biliūnas's relatives – his brothers Mykolas, Juozapas and Antanas and his sisters Anelė and Julija. Some of the exhibits came to the museum when it was being set up in 1960. Other items are still being received from the grandchildren of the writer's brothers and sisters. More recently the exhibition has been added to with a family dowry chest, a wardrobe, a baby cradle pole, a spinning wheel, a crocheted tablecloth, old shawls and a chair given to the relatives of the writer's wife, Julija. An especially precious exhibit is a small, woodworm-eaten table with a drawer. The relatives believe it is the table of the estate steward Dumbrauckas (real name Kučauskas), described in J. Biliūnas's story "The Stick", which was given to little Jonas. As an adult, Jonas Biliūnas kept his manuscripts here when visiting his home.
