In 1932 Tel\u0161iai, the Samogitian Museum \u201cAlka\u201d started its activity; the name comes from the Alka Society of History Lovers founded in the capital of Samogitia; the society which initiated establishment of the museum in 1931 was led by a poet and teacher, who later became the first director of the museum, Pranas Genys (1903\u20131952). Initially, the society rented three rooms in a residential building on Birut\u0117s Street. The new functional building of modern architecture \u2014 designed by the architect Steponas Stulginskis (1908\u20131995) and built on Mt. \u017daliasis by Mastis Lake \u2014 was the only building in Lithuanian province erected specifically for the museum needs; it opened the doors to visitors on September 3rd, 1938.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today the Samogitian Museum \u201cAlka\u201d preserves cultural and artistic assets that are important not only for Samogitia, but for the whole Lithuania; the works of art are also relevant in the wider context of European culture and art. This especially applies to the Lithuanian manors heritage. In 1940, after the Soviet occupation of Lithuania, the People Government declared Lithuanian land nationalisation. The expropriated lands of Samogitian manors with all its inventory, hence, with rich collections of works of art, were transferred to the State Land Foundation. Assigned to Tel\u0161iai, Kretinga and Taurag\u0117 counties, the committee of the Institution for the Protection of Cultural Monuments \u2014 lead by Pranas Genys \u2014 immediately started stock-taking of the assets. The haste was not in vain because already in autumn the manors were demolished or otherwise destroyed. Far from all valuable assets were brought to the Samogitian Museum \u201cAlka\u201d. Many of them were looted or destroyed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Approximately 4,000 works of art from the nationalised Samogitian manors supplemented the collection of the Samogitian Museum \u201cAlka\u201d. These were paintings, sculptures, artistic furniture, vases, candleholders and other works of applied art created by Western European and Lithuanian artists; these works once decorated Rietavas, \u0160v\u0117k\u0161na, \u0160ateikiai, Vilk\u0117nai, Plink\u0161\u0117s, Plateliai, Leonardpolis, Bir\u017euv\u0117nai, Meding\u0117nai, Pavanden\u0117, Zdoni\u0161k\u0117, Mykoli\u0161k\u0117s, Paj\u016bris and other Samogitian manors; the assets include fragments of old manor collections, reflecting the general tendencies of manor interior decoration and art collection, as well as the specifics of the Samogitian manors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exhibition Curators: Aist\u0117 Bimbiryt\u0117-Mackevi\u010dien\u0117, Dalia Tarandait\u0117, Joana Vitkut\u0117<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Partners: Samogitian Museum \u201cAlka\u201d, \u0160iauliai \u201cAu\u0161ra\u201d Museum<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exhibition Architects: Saulius Valius, Juozapas \u0160velnys<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This exhibition is the first presentation of Samogitian manors collection from the Samogitian Museum \u201cAlka\u201d in the Lithuanian capital.
