Overview & History

Widely known as the KGB Museum, the Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights occupies the former KGB headquarters building on Aukų gatvė — literally "Victims' Street." Operated by the Genocide and Resistance Research Centre of Lithuania, its permanent exhibitions document decades of Soviet-era deportations, armed resistance, and repression, set inside the building's own original prison cells, interrogation rooms, and execution chamber. It is one of the most sobering and historically significant sites in Vilnius, generally taking two to three hours to see properly. Note: this guide's photo is a representative Vilnius Old Town streetscape rather than the museum's own specific facade — no independently confirmed, correctly-located photo of this exact building could be sourced from the image library used on this site; see this city's context notes.
