The Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights in Vilnius is a powerful testament to Lithuania’s turbulent history and its struggle for independence. Located in the former KGB headquarters, this museum offers a poignant glimpse into the periods of Soviet and Nazi occupations, showcasing the resilience and courage of the Lithuanian people.

The museum’s exhibits provide an in-depth look at the harsh realities faced by Lithuanians during the occupation years. From the Soviet annexation in 1940 to the fight for freedom in the 1990s, the museum chronicles the stories of resistance, repression, and the eventual triumph of independence. Visitors can explore rooms filled with historical documents, photographs, personal accounts, and artifacts that paint a detailed picture of life under occupation.

One of the most impactful sections of the museum is located in the basement, where visitors can see the original KGB prison cells. These chilling rooms offer a glimpse into the harsh conditions and torture that many Lithuanians experienced during the Soviet era.

It’s an essential stop for anyone seeking to understand the country’s journey to freedom.
