About the museum

The Laukminiškių kaimo muziejus (Laukminiškiai Village Museum) was founded on 24 December 2002 beside the Kupiškis lakes, in the parental home of the writer Petras Babickas and the actress Unė Babickaitė. The museum was set up by Janina Puronienė, a teacher at the Virbališkiai primary school, assisted by the primary-school teacher Kristina Šinkūnienė and pupils.

The exhibition commemorates the life and work of Petras Babickas and Unė Babickaitė, and also shows the everyday life, customs and traditions of residents of the neighbouring villages at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The museum holds more than a thousand exhibits and has gathered much local studies material about eminent people of the region, among them the book smuggler Kazys Gabriūnas, the actress Unė Babickaitė-Graičiūnienė, the writer Petras Babickas and the poet Jadvyga Gabriūnaitė.
