The Museum of Genocide Victims

The Museum of Genocide Victims in Vilnius opened late in 1992 in the building where the Soviet security agencies, known to the world as the KGB, operated for almost 50 years.
Its exhibitions deal with the painful and dramatic times in the history of Lithuania in the 20th century: the loss of independence, brutal reprisals at the hands of the Soviet regime, and the bitter fight for the re-establishment of independence.
Prison
The main part of the exhibition will be found in the basement, a former NKGB-MGB-KGB prison (renamed in 1958 as interrogation solitary confinement cells), set up in the autumn of 1940 shortly after the Soviet occupation of Lithuania.
The prison remains as it was when the KGB moved out in August 1991. The building is a historical monument. Since you are in the neighborhood, have a look on the other side of the street, just in front of the park on the opposite side of the Conservatory.

Musical Bench Vilnius

You’ll find the coolest bench in Vilnius. It is a memorial bench and guitar made in honor and remembrance of Vytautas Kernagis (May 19, 1951-March 15, 2008), a Lithuanian singer, songwriter, bard, actor, director, and television announcer.
It’s just in front of the famous Lukiskiu square in Vilnius. He was a member of the big beat bands “Aisčiai” and “Rupūs miltai“. He was cremated and interred in the Antakalnis Cemetery in Vilnius.
Liubavas Manor Vilnius

Liubavas Manor is among the oldest in Lithuania, it was first mentioned in a historical source as early as the 16th century. The manor used to belong to the Royal family as well as Lithuania’s most prominent families.
In the mid-18th century, Mikalojus Tiskevicius, a canon of the Vilnius Cathedral, built the baroque architectural ensemble of Liubavas Manor, with its huge two-storied gateway that housed the manorial orchestra and other servants.
The buildings of the ensemble – the Officine and the Orangery – have survived to this day, and so have the fragments of the fence surrounding it.
In 2006, sculptor and architect Gintaras Karosas began building the museum of Liubavas Manor, researching the history of the manorial site and the region. The buildings and surroundings of the manor are being restored by the Public Institution Europos Parkas making them fit to serve as a cultural and public function. In 2016, the Baroque buildings of the Officine and the Orangery were preserved and adapted to the museum.
The inventory from the 18th century shows that the manor homestead already consisted of about 20 buildings: a second mill was being built, there was a working brewery, a treasury building, and a bakery on site. Currently, the Liubavas Manor, located in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, is open to visitors. In 2013, the German film Wolfskinder was filmed in the manor.
