Reškutėnų muziejus

About the museum

The Reškutėnų muziejus was founded in 1974 by the teacher Izidorius Kazakevičius. Over twenty years he collected more than a thousand exhibits telling the history of the region. Since 2001 the museum has been a branch of the Nalšios muziejus.

The museum is located in the village of Reškutėnai, between Lake Kretuonas and Lake Kretuonykštis, about 12 km north of Švenčionys.

The collection comprises archaeological finds, textiles by local weavers, church utensils and old books, traditional musical instruments, household items, a collection of stones and even a meteorite. Exhibitions on old crafts, a picture gallery and corners devoted to deportees and participants in the resistance are on display.
