Museum of Occupation and Freedom Fights
In the New Town, housed in a late 19th-century building on the emblematic Gedimino Avenue, this museum's home was first the Vilnius headquarters of the German Gestapo and later the Soviet KGB, who also utilized it for interrogations and as a prison. It was converted to this commemorative museum, which has proven to be a powerful reminder of all those killed during the many long occupations of Lithuania, and its facade is covered by plaques with names, in remembrance of those who were executed here or deported to Siberia during the Soviet regime.
