Great museum. Lots of interactive activities for children. New halls. Often changing exposures in several places. There is also a main exposition. All visitors are given a tablet with which they can scan QR codes and get information, which is amazing.
Here you will find everything about state governance and state awards. Three large spaces. I recommend visiting the interactive space with children. The museum is free on the last Sunday.
Pleasant service by the staff. There is free water and WC. You will also visit the presidential courtyard and the park. Good luck to everyone❤️❤️❤️

Ok, so basically they present themselves as a new gen museum. And that is true. Centre for civil education has 4 different theme based rooms (history, institutions, territory, citizenship). So, the idea of these selected themes is very simple. These are stock or minimum criteriums of every single western orientated nation. This is the place where you can get well-prepared information about the country of Lithuania. Nevertheless, the approach to the information is very modern. By modern, I mean that basically, all expos are accessible by tablet computers (iPad mini) with an installed app-tour guide. Specially designed QR codes which are related with an exposition are actually very informative and has many forms (games, text, pictures, audio/video etc..). The result of this virtual/physical combination is that you feel much more involved. Also, it is possible to ask a tour from working staff.
The whole place looks quite minimalistic and cozy, so it's nice to be there. Simple as that. Kids love the place because there are many of smaller areas for them where they can do their stuff.
All in all, if you want fresh and concentrated information about Lithuania this is probably the best place in Vilnius.
AND IT'S COMPLETELY FREE

Centre for Civil Education is undoubtedly a fascinating and unique place. If you are having doubts about visiting because you are not sure whether you want to spend your time in some museum, don't worry, it's a whole different experience. Not only you can learn a lot, but you can take part in the creation and you can make the exposition become alive in your hands. Centre for Civil Education is highly innovative and multilayer. With the help of technologies you can go back in time and relive some of the most important events in creation of modern Lithuania.
Whether you are a fan of history, politics or just an admirer of great minds, you'll find everything here. Centre offers unforgettable experience for young and for old. That's the beauty of it - it adjusts to your needs and curiosity.
One more thing worth taking into consideration is that the Centre is easy to find and it is completely free. Also, if you decide to come on the weekend during summer time, you have a chance to visit Sculpture Gardens of Presidential Palace.

One of the most innovative places to get to know Lithuanian history and explore the concept of statehood. Definitely worth a visit, regardless of age.

An interesting visit which explains Lithuanian political history. Prior to this you can walk through the grounds of the Presidential Palace which was a nice surprise. Free entry. iPads provided to provide language translations. Quite interactive - good way to spend a rainy half-hour if passing by.

This museum presents information about politics of Lithuania in a very interesting way. There are 3 floors, all dedicated to different subjects. Not only the display of this center is amazing, the interior design is extremely eye - soothing too. Me and my cousin stayed until closing hours and promised each other to come back because we had a lot of fun there learning about different institutions.

This place is sentimental about the History of Lithuania and they have taken the experience to a pleasant level with tablets to move around and learn and read about all the historical moments and to be part of it with all the activities possible and the interaction. Worth a visit for all, local as tourist and visitors.

This is a free museum that shows how the current democratic state of Lithuania came into being as well as how citizens can/should participate.
Goes into the history of Lithuania, it's struggles with various invaders , the fighters both physical & ideological who finally over came the ruling state ( russian) to set up the country & political landscape of modern Lithuania.
Sounds boring but in fact it is a very well thought out modern museum that utilises to great effect both classic exhibits as well as some augmented reality to enhance your visit .
A lot of the exhibits have a sort of QR code next to them , which when scanned with the tablet ( supplied at no cost during your visit ) provide not only translation for non Lithuanian speakers but extra details & audio / visual displays .
Some of the exhibits I found extremely moving ( The Baltic Highway for example)
A very good museum , quite unlike any I have been to before .
