This is a wonderfully curated museum with a great deal of information. While of course the content is very upsetting and dark, it made me appreciate all the more the bright and modern Baltic countries which have so recently suffered Nazi and Soviet occupation. I...More

Visited from Scotland. Very distressing content but we felt it was important to see this during our time in the Baltic states to give us an idea of Lithuania's recent history and to give some context to how the country is today. It was really...More

Excellent review of Russian and Nazi times. The jail is particularly impressive. Skip the video if you are too sensitive.

It is our history – Lithuanian and Baltic. And part of it is quite recent one which still pains us – it is a history of our parents and grandparents, the stories that we heard from them shown in pictures and reconstructions. For tourists it...More

The history is depressing enough, without having to fight your way thru the hordes of tour group members surging thru the narrow hallways. It was almost impossible to view the surroundings without constantly being pushed and pulled thru the crowds. Probably best to come here...More
