An atmospheric museum, a solemn visit. Man's inhumaminty to man eerily and graphically demonstrated.
I went on my first trip in 2009. No pictures allowed, but great books available. You will feel you can't wait to get out - the horrors are made that palpable. The names of the lost are on stones on the outside of the building.
Just visited last week. How is this museum not double the cost? Only 6Lt to get in. There's lots to read and see. Very informative and I learnt alot about Lithuania's history. I defy anyone not to get a chill down their spine when they see the padded cell. To know this building was only vacated by the KGB in...

Quite some text, but nicely written about the story of Lithuania from 1938 and until they regained their freedom in 1991.

Chilling experience, and very good exhibition!! The fact that it is in the real location adds even more to its value.
I did not know what to expect at the KGB museum, but it was definitely worth it. I learnt a lot about the history of Lithuania connected to the times of occupation. A sad part of the history, I must add.
My Father was Lithuanian so i suppose this place held special meaning to us. Very very thought provoking, what I saw will stay with me forever. Not a place for small children, but my teenagers thought it was a good visit.
