The exposition is located in an authentic place – the premises of the Panevėžys group of the Lithuanian reform movement “Sąjūdis”. The Sąjūdis of Panevėžys has been operating here since October 1988.
In 2004, an exposition on the resistance to the Soviet occupation and an exhibition dedicated to the “Sąjūdis” were opened in the building. The exposition reveals the extent and forms of popular resistance starting from 15 June 1940 to 11 March 1990, and introduces the most importantstages and events of the anti-Soviet movement, as well as Soviet repressions.
