2017-10-09

Lithuania and Russia Kaliningrad region Culture ministry right now does not find a decision, on how to pass on the exposition prepared by Lithuania national museum to Kristijonas Donelaitis museum in Tolminkiemis. So far, it is unclear about the museum infrastructure destiny – Donelaitis association says they do not get any information from the Culture ministry, if they will support this project.

Kristijonas Donelaitis exposition in the memorial museum has been renewed three years ago, when celebrating Lithuanian literature classic 300 year anniversary. Kaliningrad region funded the museum facade and inner walls renovation, they fixed the roof and the tower. Lithuania promised to make a new exposition. Lithuanian National museum already selected the values, which will be brought here for ten years. Among the exposition given to Tolminkiemis church – expositional showcases, antique furniture, sculptures, other art creations, altar curtains. Culture ministry  approves, that the new exposition was not given to temporarily keep for the museum, because of law and technical obstacles – it is said to be done in the near future.

In autumn the EU funded Lithuania and Kaliningrad region cooperation program, could be expected to get a million euros, for which they will fix museum engineering network, as well as the former rectory building or rebuild the widows” house. However, Donelaitis museum needs to find a partner in Lithuania, which would submit an application together. „Tolminkiemis gets into one important priority – historical cultural heritage, that has a social meaning, fostering and preservation. The one thing that is needed and this would also definitely need the Culture ministry influence – is to find a partner on the side of Lithuanian museums“, – says the Lithuanian  General consul in Kaliningrad region Olegas Skinderskis.
