Arseny Lis had imbibed love for Belarusian folk songs since childhood. The family of the growing up specialist in folklore loved songs and spoke in the Belarusian language. His mother Elena very nicely sang not only Belarusian folk songs, but also songs to the words of Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas.
The Belarusian song became the scholar’s main object of scientific research and brought him great success and recognition.
Scientific validity and depth of love and hard work are the scholar’s main features in his work.
The last section of the exhibition includes materials about the hero of the day.
Overall, the exhibition includes about 100 publications.
