Editorial Review of Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture

Opening this museum was the life-long dream of proprietor Stanley Balzekas, which is, in-and-of-itself, cuter than a sack of kittens. According to the museum's Web site, the dream was fulfilled in 1966 when he opened the museum next to his auto dealership on Archer Avenue. Eventually, the museum outgrew the original two-flat location and Balzekas moved it to its current location. Inside is his personal collection of Lithuanian art, as well as armor and rare maps that have been donated over the years. Joining the main exhibit, "Lithuania Through Out the Ages" are a language education department, collections of folk art and coins, tokens and medals, a state-of-the-art audio-visual center and a gift shop. Admission is $5 for adults and $4 for seniors and students.
