The museum, located in the Ustronė estate, reminds us of the year of the press ban (1864-1904) and the unstoppable battle of Lithuanians for the word of the mother tongue. This is the only museum in Lithuania and around the world about the book smuggling. In 2004 UNESCO evaluated book smuggling as a unique activity without equal in the world. The word “knygnešys” (book smuggler) does not exist in any other language except Lithuanian!
