Devils' Museum
Velnių muziejus
A quirky museum with over 3,000 devil figures from around the world, and one of Kaunas’s most popular attractions.
The museum grew out of the private collection of painter Antanas Žmuidzinavičius, who gathered about 260 devil sculptures during his lifetime. Donations from around the world followed, and the collection now exceeds 3,000 pieces, including Lithuanian folk wood carvings, masks, pipes and demon figures from many countries. The most famous is a group of sculptures showing Hitler and Stalin as devils “fighting over Lithuania.” The three-floor exhibition space is compact, and a visit takes about an hour. It is closed on Mondays and is well suited to families with children.
