There is a Horse museum located 5 km from Anykščiai, Niūronys - a unique attraction in Lithuania. It was founded in 1978 at the initiative of professor of agronomy Petras Vasinauskas, after the professor travelled around Lithuania with žemaitukai and noticed that the horse was no longer involved in daily human life. The entrance of the museum are two threshing barns and the premises of a nearby elementary school, where the first exhibits gathered from all over the Lithuanian territory were placed on display: the chariots, lineika, britzkas, wheels, horses, plows, other tools, harnesses, saddles, horse-drawn flax breaking machine, threshers, seed drills, potato diggers, reapers. The museum now owns 15 buildings. Visitors of the exhibits are welcome to examine various agricultural tools, vehicles, learn about the history of cavalry and horses, and take part in various educational programs.
