Aim of the exposition

Taking the “idols” off the pedestal, 
changing the location and status 
of the exhibiting of the monuments, and 
using a special exhibition technique and 
additional aids have substantially altered 
the ideological content of the monumen-
tal sculptures. The Grūtas Park expo-
sition discloses the negative content of the 
Soviet ideology and its impact on the value 
system. The aim of this exposition is to provide 
an opportunity for Lithuanian people, visitors 
coming to our country as well as future gene-
rations to see the naked Soviet ideology which suppressed and hurt the spirit of our nation for many decades.

UNIQUENESS OF THE EXPOSITION

To date, no other museum or cultural
institution has endeavoured to collect or
duly exhibit Soviet relics. In Grūtas Park, monumental sculptures are
positioned in a 2 km-long
  exposition, where guard towers,
fragments of concentration camps

 and other details resemble
 Siberia. Grūtas Park is situated
 on a 20 ha area, exhibiting 86
 works by 46 authors. Such a
 large concentration of monu-
ments and sculptures of
 ideological content in a single
 out-door exposition is a rare
 and maybe even unique
 phenomenon in the world.
