200th anniversary of Dionizas Poška’s Baubliai

Dionizas Poška founded in his homestead the first museum of historical antiquities in Lithuania. On the outskirts of Samogitia, in his Manor homestead, he cut down a thousand-year-old oak tree, which was called Baublys, in 1812, truncated it and, having hollowed it out, built an arbour in which he placed all museum antiquities, a library of some 200 books, and made a workplace for himself there; historical and archaeological materials were held in the Baublys.
