The KGB Museum

Partisan Uniform, KGB Museum

The guardroom

The KGB Museum (aka Museum of Genocide Victims) is a must for those who want to capture some of the 'recent' history of the Soviet Period. The building was the former KGB Headquarters of Vilnius from 1944 - 1989. From 1941, it was home of the Gestapo when the Nazis took over Vilnius.
At 2LT, it is a bargain. Be prepared, however for some cold, moving facts about the destruction of Lithuania and its Partisan movement. What's even more chilling is the padded cell at the end of the corridor where many mentally ill or disturbed prisoners were locked inside so that no one could hear them scream.
For those who are prepared to face the chilling grimness, the KGB Museum is off Gedimino Street.
