The most interesting museum is located in Vilnius. It is dedicated to the Lithuanian literary critic, writer, and public figure Antanas Venclova. It was opened in the apartment where the writer's family lived between 1945 and 1971. The museum owes much of its foundation to the Museum of Vilnius Writers. Its employees began forming the museum's foundation in 1973. The main part of the exhibits that you can see in the museum today was received from the writer's wife.
A huge library, personal belongings of the writer, his manuscripts, and antiques are stored in the old apartment. The museum has more than 8,000 exhibits. The atmosphere of the writer's office was recreated as accurately as possible in the apartment. You can see beautiful furniture, old books, and unique works of art in the museum. The writer was very partial to them.
Antanas Venclova had many famous friends among literary figures, artists, and other artists. Many of them repeatedly visited his apartment in Vilnius. The museum continues to live an active life even today, despite the fact that it was organized more than 40 years ago. The museum staff is constantly searching for new historical facts about the Venclova family. They collect historical documents and other valuable artifacts related to family members. Thematic events are often held in the museum. They are dedicated to the activities of the writer, as well as contemporary writers and poets of Lithuania. It will be interesting to visit this museum once again, even for those who have visited it before.
