Day 4
Rumšiškės Open-Air Museum
August 9, 2022 in Lithuania ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
The Open-Air Museum of Lithuania is one of the largest ethnographic open-air museums in Europe. It was established in Rumšiškės in 1966. The exhibitions at the museum are intended to introduce the ethnographic regions of Lithuania, i. e. Dzūkija (Dainava), Aukštaitija (Highlands), Suvalkija (Sudovia), Žemaitija (Samogitia), and Lithuania Minor, as they looked at the end of the 18th century and the first half of the 20th century.

The houses representing each of the regions stand in their natural environment and have the interior and exterior of the respective period. Exhibitions of household appliances, crafting, trading, agricultural machinery, and ethnobotany are presented inside the buildings. Nearly everything in Rumšiškės had been moved from somewhere else. 19th-century huts, sheds, and farmer homes that stood all over Lithuania have been saved from destruction by reassembling them here.Read more

Day 4
2nd House and the Whittler at Rumšiškės
August 9, 2022 in Lithuania ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
As our group drove up to the 2nd house at Rumšiškės, the docent was a little old man who was whittling to pass the time. He went into the house with us to explain a few features. I think he was lonely because he asked us many questions which had to be translated for us by Gintas. The man only spoke Lithuanian.

As we left the interior of the house, he showed us some puzzles he had whittled. In true tourist fashion, I asked if he would sell me one, and he did. We continued talking through Gintas, and then as we were leaving, the man showed me a second spinning toy. He gave it to me as a gift. We must have connected on some level. I was so happy to be at the museum because it was my opportunity to see how my grandfather might have lived. Gintas had translated that to this man and I suppose he liked my reason for visiting. I was touched by his generosity. Originally, I had purchased the toy for one of my grandchildren, but I have decided to keep it to remember the whittler and the special experience.Read more

Aukštaitija Farm at Rumšiškės
August 9, 2022 in Lithuania ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
Aukštaitija is both the largest region in Lithuania and in the Rumšiškės Museum. This area of Lithuania includes Panevėžys which is where I believe my Grandfather Slykas was born.

Aukštaitija is the name of one of the five ethnographic regions of Lithuania. It is in the northeast part of Lithuania and also encompasses a small part of Latvia and Belarus. The largest city and, though not in any strict political sense, the considered capital of the region is Panevėžys.Read more

Aukštaitija Farm at Rumšiškės Part 2
August 9, 2022 in Lithuania ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
These photos show the outside buildings and their interiors. There were barns for livestock, granaries for storage of grain and other things, and a well. Farm helpers sometimes slept in the granaries. That is why there is a bed in one of the granaries.

Behind the house was a small vineyard. Notice the upright poles.

The house also has a chapel pole just like all Lithuanian houses did in those times.Read more

Suvalkija at Rumšiškės Part 1
August 9, 2022 in Lithuania ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
Suvalkija or Sudovia is the smallest of the five cultural regions of Lithuania.

The Sudovia area at Rumšiškės has an oil mill and 3 farmsteads, one of which includes a small windmill and the other has a cattle-drawn mill. As Sudovian farmers were among the richest, the exhibits concentrate on technical heritage (agricultural tools, locomobiles).

This is the area where Joanne and Scott's Phillips grandparents were from this location in Lithuania.Read more

Small "Rumškiai town"
August 9, 2022 in Lithuania ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
A small "Rumškiai town" is the museum‘s hub. Its large square is surrounded by small townhouses and a church. Many Rumškiai townhouses have recreated interiors of the 19th – early 20th centuries: a single-room school, craftsmen workshops (with interpreters), and an inn. Others host permanent exhibitions of period goods. During festivals, the square is turned into a marketplace.Read more

Rumsiskes
October 13, 2016 in Lithuania ⋅ 🌙 0 °C
Im Dorf Rumsiskes wurde seit 1966 eines der größten Freilichtmuseen Europas aufgebaut. Es beherbergt auf einer Fläche von 195 ha mehr als 180 alte Gebäude, die überall in Litauen ab- und in Rumsiskes wieder aufgebaut wurden. Es ist das einzige derartige Museum in Litauen und zeigt Gebäude aus allen litauischen Landesteilen, Aukstaitija, Zemaitija, Dzukija, Suvalkija und den litauischen Häusern aus Kleinlitauen, dem ehemaligen Memelgebiet aus der Zeit des 18. bis Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Im Zentrum des Parks gibt es ein nachgebautes Städtchen mit Läden, Gasthaus, Buchgeschäft. Da der Park auch noch etwa eine Stunde, nachdem die Häuser alle geschlossen sind, zugänglich ist, sollte man die Besichtigung des Städtchens an den Anfang des Rundgangs setzen.

Rumšiškės
August 10, 2017 in Lithuania ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Jeudi, 10 août 2017
Nous quittons ce matin Vilnius pour aller en direction ouest et espérons arriver mardi à Klaipeda, notre port du ferry "retour". Trakai est au programme pour aujourd'hui. C'était pendant un certain temps la capitale de la Lituanie, maintenant c'est la plus importante destination touristique du pays. Tout le monde vient visiter le château, presque entièrement reconstruit après 300 ans de sommeil, situé sur une péninsule. Le croquignolet village, avec ses maisons en bois multicolores, héberge la plus petite minorité du pays, les Karaïs, descendants des familles que le grand-duc avait fait venir depuis la Turquie vers 1400. Ils sont moins nombreux maintenant, mais ont réussi à garder leur langue, traditions et religion. Nous allons dîner dans un de leurs restos et goûtons la spécialité: les kybin, des chaussons fourrés à la viande d'agneau, très bons. Comme nous avons prévu de visiter demain matin le "Ballenberg" lituanien, nous cherchons l'auberge Ilanka à Rumšiškės, qui fait aussi camping. L'endroit serait super, au bord du Nemunas, mais tout est fermé, dommage. Nous nous installons donc sur le parking du musée ethnographique.Read more
