Exile and Resistance Museum in Palanga Museum
330
The museum is located in downtown Palanga, in one of the smallest wooden villas of the Palanga resort – Vaidilutė. It was established in 1993, based on the initiative of the Palanga branch of the Lithuanian Union of Political Prisoners and Deportees. The department continues to look after the museum today on a community basis. The volunteers have adapted the villa to the specific needs of the museum and lead the tours themselves.
The exhibition tells the story of the participation of Lithuanians in the resistance movement and the deportations that destroyed people’s lives.
