Thierry MeierSeptember 12, 2016A must visit if you want to find out more about the Soviet and German occupation between the 40s till 90s here in Lithuania (which you definitely should if you're traveling here).Upvoted Jan 12
Martin RisgaardOctober 28, 2015Don't miss the prison basement. You may wish you did after being there but experiences like this is a solemn reminder what people can do to each other - and that we can't let it happen again.
AlexDecember 31, 2022Definitely worth to visit,to know better history of crimes of USSR and modern Russia (thank you for exhibition dedicated to the Ru-Ua war 2022).Atmosphere in the former execution room is terribly real
soshialMay 21, 2017Very interesting exposition about Forest Brothers (partisans), their life, art works, aspirations! But it could be more interactive, though.- Max WennekerOctober 29, 2018Tons of info in English. Great museum on occupations by Nazis and Soviets of Lithuania.
Andrius IskauskasSeptember 23, 2012A must see for every westerner. Maybe you'll start to see the Soviet regime more adequately
Enguerran GregoireSeptember 12, 2015Really important historical place in Vilnius. Expect two hours to see everything (a looot of explanations, also in english).
- Carl GriffinNovember 28, 2015Interesting to tour the cells & learn about the various torture techniques used.
Peter KravcakSeptember 17, 2015Go everywhere and take you time, minimum 2 hours. You will imagine, what some others lived.
Megan MastersJuly 8, 2018Easy for history buffs to spend hours here. Overall, chilling review of a time that is a sad reality.
Sharon PeppardSeptember 27, 2018You really should visit . The prison cells in the basement have me a cold shiver I felt like crying when I left
Geert MareelsNovember 16, 2013Don't leave Vilnius without visiting the old KGB building. The orgsnized horror, or how Lithuania was liberated from the Nazi's and underwent the same torture for 45 years.
- Geert MareelsNovember 13, 2013Don't leave Vilnius without visiting this museum. How the Lithuanians were "liberated" from the Nazi's to get the same treatment from the KGB.
Şerwan BingölJanuary 30, 2014You can hear people's scream when you walk through the museum. It upsets me ...
Deividas RinkevičiusMarch 24, 2015A quality exhibition and a nicely planned-out storyline of genocide history in Lithuania. Real Russian KGB prison in the basement. An interesting sight for both locals and tourists!

Mark HealeyNovember 1, 2011Photos are not allowed, but if you're quiet and don't use a flash, they don't notice- soshialMay 21, 2017No information about Lithuanians that collaborated with Nazis and the Soviets. This is a Genocide Museum but only a single small room is dedicated to Holocaust. A bit biased, i would say.
Ksana M.January 23, 2016Потрясающий музей. Очень рекордную заката экскурсию. Вход - 4 евро. Экскурсия - 20 евро на группу.
Вадим АбаносJanuary 8, 2017Очень интересная экспозиция, позволяет многое осмыслить и увидеть с другой стороны в советской истории. Все жёстко и без прекрас, иногда становится жутко. Обязательно для посещения для понимания Литвы
Ann AnikeenkoAugust 7, 2016Очень атмосферное место 😬 Жуткое и страшное! Но сходить и прочувствовать это стоит!
Andrey FedyaevApril 19, 2014Интересные экспозиции, дух истории присутствует. Можно взять аудиогид на английском, чтобы связать окружающее с судьбами конкретных людей.
Anastasia ShumovetsJune 6, 2014Сказать, что это место стоит посетить равно что ничего не сказать. Если вы решили посетить Вильнюс вы обязаны побывать здесь! Это реальность которая трогает до слёз и женщин, и мужчин.
Alex TalanovMarch 19, 2017Отличный музей. Много информации, хорошее оформление залов. Тюрьма... жуть
Vadim MoskalevSeptember 13, 2013В первом зале в видеоряде по фону в какой-то момент тихо заиграл Имперский марш из Звездных войн :)
- Explore VilniusApril 12, 2013Buvusiuose KGB rūmuose, penkiasdešimt metų buvo planuojami ir vykdomi sovietų nusikaltimai. Galima apžiūrėti buvusį KGB kalėjimą, mirties nuosprendžių vykdymo patalpą, šiuolaikines ekspozicijas. Read more
Julls 🍀 Jools🐞March 10, 2015С учетом того, что в Вильнюсе музеев нет, то этот очень даже ничего. Вход 2 евро. На максимум час занятие
