About
Ivan Lutskievič Belarusian Museum in Vilnius (Belarusian: Беларускі музэй у Вільне, romanized: Biełaruski muzej u Vilnie; Lithuanian: I. Luckevičiaus baltarusių muziejus; Polish: Muzeum Białoruskie w Wilnie) is a Belarusian scientific and educational organisation, which originally existed from 1921 to 1945 in Vilnius (Wilno, Vilna). It was located in the Monastery of the Holy Trinity in close proximity to the Belarusian Scientific Society and Vilnius Belarusian Gymnasium. The museum was reestablished in 2001.
The museum was founded based on the collection of Ivan Luckievič. The collection was divided into sections of ethnography (clothes, textile, music instruments), archeology, numismatics and library (mostly, of incunabulas and manuscripts).
