The Professor Adam Hrebnicki Homestead Museum is a fabulous place from which many types of fruit trees, including pineapple apples, originated. Now it houses a museum, hosts educational events, and offers visitors a fragrant garden.
The branch of the Ignalina Regional Museum is located in the small village of Rojus, nestled in the shade of green century-old trees, near Dūkštas, Ignalina district. Rojas was founded by the most famous Lithuanian horticultural pomologist of that time, professor of the St. Petersburg Forestry Institute A. Hrebnickis. He devoted his entire life to the study of apple, pear, cherry, and plum varieties. A huge collection of fruit trees was collected in his garden.
The museum was opened to visitors in 1961. The museum has five rooms for exhibits. One of them exhibits the most famous works and manuscripts of the professor, another – photographs, letters of gratitude, and fruit and berry sculptures. The professor's office contains his personal belongings and written letters, and the museum is decorated with stained glass windows with his image. There is also a room for his daughter Marija, where her paintings are exhibited. The terrace on the second floor offers a wonderful view of the surrounding ponds and the beautiful surrounding nature.
The museum hosts educational events. Every year, the International Museum Day is celebrated, the museum participates in the autumn fair in Ignalina, and music and poetry evenings are organized. The museum is visited by both individual visitors and organized excursions, and guests have also come from America, France, Poland and other countries. We are glad that the museum, which is visited by many tourists, has also become a place for meetings and cultural leisure. Park „Paradise“ attracts those who want to spend time in nature, go fishing or simply have a photo shoot.
