Vivid Reminder

A sad reminder of some of the trials and tribulations that some of the Lithuanian people had to endure in our recent history. The museum is pretty much untouched. The space are very confined and camped but still presented very well.

Harrowing but necessary reminder of man's inhumanity to man

We went to this rather reluctantly but in the end we were glad that we had experienced this grim place for ourselves. If ever a reminder was needed about the dangers of political extremes, this ex-KGB HQ provides one. More uplifting were the exhibits relating...More

Soviet reality

The KGB museum is one of those places that show us how really horrible people can be to each other. Fear was the tactic used to try to control people and the Soviets were masters in fear. The 1st two floors are displays of the...More

Shocking, eye opening experience that puts Vilnius's history in perspective

This museum offers explanations in English. Visiting was an unforgettable experience. We had no idea what they went thru with both the Nazis and the Russians. Do not miss this place.

Harrowing

A visit to this place makes you realise how bad it must have been living under Nazi and then Soviet occupation. You can almost feel an evil presence in there and to be honest I was glad to leave.

Sad...

Sad stories behind this museum but one needs to know the cruelties made by KGB & should provide lessons to future generations.

We walked from the KGB museum to what I would call the centre of the city (decent shops, restaurants) in about 10 minutes. Another 10 minutes to the touristy areas.
