Customer Reviews
it was super informative. our tourguide was really awesome. thx to him, I got to know ppl from Lithuania! super worth. aÄiÅ«!
It was very impactful to visit this museum. It is located in the former KGB headquarters, however, you will learn about oppression from Nazi Germany and the KGB over the course of time. Especially for Americans who don't know much about what happened behind the Iron Curtain after World War II, it will add to their knowledge.
This is a very heavy experience, and for me it really felt like two completely different visits within one museum. The first and second floors were honestly disappointing. There is an overwhelming amount of text, long descriptions, and very little space to properly absorb it all. Almost no interactivity, just dense blocks of information that are difficult to read and process, especially given the emotional weight of the subject. It felt cramped and exhausting rather than engaging, and I found myself frustrated instead of moved. I expected a more modern approach to storytelling here, and sadly this part didnāt deliver. The underground section, however, is something else entirely. This is where the museum truly hits you. Walking through the actual prison cells, corridors, and execution spaces is deeply unsettling. Seeing these places with your own eyes creates a kind of pain that words simply cannot explain. Itās not abstract history anymore. Itās physical, immediate, and deeply human. You feel the fear, the isolation, the cruelty, and the absolute helplessness that people endured there. What hurts the most is realizing what people are capable of doing to other people. Standing there, surrounded by silence and cold walls, you canāt escape that thought. The pain is quiet but intense, and it stays with you long after you leave. This part of the museum is powerful, necessary, and unforgettable. Despite its flaws upstairs, the underground section alone makes this place worth visiting. Itās not an easy experience, but itās an important one.
