After the first Day of Antiquity in 1935, on
enriching itself with new exhibits, the Dzukai Museum moved into more spacious premises. The head of the DES
also changed. Now its chairman was Jonas Miskinis, an educator, a contributor to the press. In his
notes to the press of the Republic, J.Miskinis always took the opportunity to advertise the
museum, to ask people for help in collecting museum-pieces.
