Museum full of devils: friendly, funny, scary. All they have names, stories and etc. It's not big museum,you'll spend half hour in it, entrance only few coins, so it's worth to put it in travel plan.
Fans of the occult and folklore may enjoy this vast collection of devil marks and carvings, the rest of us would probably prefer to spend the time wandering in the old city, pedestrian street, castle, town hall, liberation square or other city museums. The museum covers three floors with a collection mostly from the Baltics and Eastern Europe. The third floor has marks, carvings from around the world.
Very interesting place. Great exhibits. I heard about this in the tour books and was intrigued. If you are in Kaunas go visit.
The Museum is 15 minutes waking distance from the main shopping street in Kaunas a bit out of the way It is not much to see and not really worth visiting.
We visited the museum in Halloween, and there was no atraction or decoration.... Some of collection was ok, but someting miss.
What an interesting place. The museum is filled with sculptures, paintings, and all kinds of replicas of devils and other world creatures. Made for a fascinating visit. A must when visiting Kaunas
I was going to title this review, "Thank God, this place exists," but then I had my doubts about the appropriateness...In any event, I adore odd and quirky museums. I visited this little gem a number of years ago. Despite Lithuania suffering a massive heat wave that July, I had a blast (and, no, there is no a/c in the building!). As some have suggested, this is not the sort of place with high-tech displays. But it more than compensates by being utterly interesting and laser-beam focused on its mission to explore how the devil is depicted in world cultures. This was definitely the highlight of Kaunas for me.
but a bit over the top on devil - a bit uneasy after a while. Without LT tour guide to translate would not have been as interesting.
Devils are not my thing but I found it interesting that there were so many versions of this evil being.
It's a unique museum in Lithuania and I think even in Europe. You can see devil figures from almos all of the world. Alot of them were presents to the host, a famous Lithuanian artist Zmuidzinavicius, after his death the collection continued to enlarge. People who heard about the museum sent devil figures to it.
