a five star museum. lots of information. nicely curated. the museum itself housed in the historic building that is entirely associated with the content of the museum. even then, I think the naming of the museum should have been different. the museum preserved and showcased the torture and sufferings of the people during the Soviet communist regime, and also of the resistence against the communist regime. it would have been better if the space of the museum could be more.

This Genocide Victims Museum was established in 1992 and since that time it is the best museum for me with a big black history. Everybody in Lithuania have to see that place and to think what to do that such history will never repeat again. Everybody in the World must see this place to understand that Soviets were the same as Nazi.

A recommended museum if you visit Vilnius! Really interesting to see how Lithuania suffered during the Nazi and Stalin era’s. Although there is a lot of information it doesn’t take you a very long time to see it all, that’s convient if you want to do more in the city. You can even visit the prison which is located in the basement of the building. Really interesting museum!

This is an absolutely amazing museum and chilling/ haunting in some points. I would recommend that anyone visiting Vilnius visit this site. It provides you with an excellent understanding to the impact WW2 had on the Jewish population and explained the impact of Russian and German Rule of Lithuania. In the basement there is are the original cells, exercise area and execution chamber. I cannot explain how chilling this was and I would highly recommend a visit

Confronting. my mum is Lithuanian and throughout the visit all I could think was that I'm grateful she made out out. The torture and massacre methods were horrific and make you think how could someone do this to another human being. The declaration of independence near the final room made you feel thank goodness now reel freedom. It was a great museum and very well done.

So sad but so important to see this. The Lithuanians had a horrific time in the 20th century; first with the Nazis then the Soviets. Highly recommend.

This a place to go, to understand and to know more about the Lithuanian history. It's a disturbing but interesting museum in former KGB headquarters. There is a good audio guide and even some texts are in French. I spent 2 hours with friends, but I could have been there for 4 or 5 hours. A lot of text and objects. Good experience !

Not Pleasant, but needs to be seen
Visiting this former prison gives you some insight regarding the viewpoint of the Baltic States towards their huge Eastern neighbour. The prison was actually used by both the Soviets and Nazis during their respective occupations of Vilnius, and the impact of both are covered in the exhibits.
The exhibits cover the actions of both occupiers, as well as the mass executions, the exile of thousands of Lithuanians to Siberia, and the doomed, largely unknown (in the West) armed resistance to the Soviet post-war reoccupation of the country after the Baltic Republics were sacrificed by the Western Powers.
The preserved cells give the visitor a sense of the hopelessness felt by the prisoners, and the execution chamber exhibit is harrowing to say the least.

Spent 3 hours - could have spent longer! Used a very good audio guide, can go as fast or slow as you want. Disturbing and fascinating history.

Very informative and interesting to learn about the hardships of the Lithuanian people. Though I think it is too much centered on the Soviet times part. I wish there would be more information the crimes commited by Nazis.

Only 4euros and we spent 1 and a half hours there. Very informative to somebody who didn't know much about the history of Lithuania. Don't accidentally miss the prison part.

A very interesting place, kept true to history you can really get a feel for the past here and will want to allow 2-3 hours for a tour. Well worth it.

Very informative. Especially the cellar floor with prisons is shocking. There is a lot to see and read. Audio guides were available in english. We spent about 2h there, but I think it takes at least 3 or 4 hours to hear all of the audio guide.
All in all I can highly recommend a visit.

First floor displaying the details of Lithuanian KGB connections go a bit too much into detail to stay interesting for a foreigner, but the basement and the third floor are excellent. The original cells are fantastic and tell a story in a unique way, while the third floor tells a lot about the KGB as a whole. Whole-heartedly recommend.

An atmospheric museum that is imporant to remind us of what was so that we hopefully learn from it. We were in a group that was a bit too big for the place and the guide went through everything too quickly for my liking, but his presentation was interesting and informative.
The visit makes you uncomfortable, as it should and sticks with you for some time. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in history.

very reasonably priced and very informative. audio guides and a cloakroom were available.

however, 99% of the displays are only shown in lithuanian and english.

Think every tourist has a responsibility to go here in order to get a sense of Lithuania's tragic 20th century history.

Well worth the reasonable fee. The museum leads you through several rooms with easy to follow numbers and signs. Good information about the Barrie of the KGB and Lithuanian struggle for independence. The term genocide is a little misleading because the KGB were killing political dissidents, not an ethnic group.

There aren't many interesting museums in Lithuania, but this is one of them. We visited this place with a guide who told us a lot of horrifying stories and provided so much interesting information about the prison. You really get to than just some artifacts behind a glass.
