Museum of the History of Lithuania Minor, presents the Second World War, a very important and painful period in the history of Klaip\u0117da city and region. It is located under the rampart, on the site of the former Klaip\u0117da Castle’s eastern curtin, where during the war the Germans had set up an explosives depot. The museum is very modern, with 13 interactive points in the exhibition hall and 4 halls presenting the different phases of the war. In the hall “Klaip\u0117da on the Eve of the War”, for the first time in Lithuania, you can see and read documents testifying to the war, as well as view photographs and newsreel images from the time. The radical changes in Europe at the time are depicted on the original animated map. “The Storming of Klaip\u0117da” presents the very tragic history of the city of Klaip\u0117da and its inhabitants, “Klaip\u0117da after the War” features an installation dedicated to the memory of the destroyed churches of the city, and a photo-narrative reveals what Klaip\u0117da looked like in the first days after the war and how it has changed. In the last hall of “Memory” there is a symbolic wagon with a glass lid, which is 6 metres long, and underneath it there is a lot of simple household items that once belonged to both German soldiers and civilians in Klaip\u0117da. The glass is covered with a layer of sand, so you’ll have to use your fingers to scrape the sand away to see the exhibits.<\/p>\n
