A maze-like confusion of musty rooms on two floors, crammed with exhibits aimed at enlightening visitors on the subject of Lithuania’s military history over the past several centuries. It almost goes without saying that no help has been given to non-Lithuanian speakers, meaning once again that yet another potentially interesting museum is more or less off limits to those who don’t speak the local lingo. Among the confusion on the top floor is one exhibit worth the entrance fee, namely the wreck of the local aviation heroes Darius and Girėnas’ doomed little orange aeroplane Lituanica and the horrific, sewn-back-together suits that the two pilots were wearing when the aircraft they were piloting crashed under mysterious circumstances in 1933 whilst attempting to fly non-stop to Kaunas from the United States. The area around the building features numerous monuments relating to the museum and other Lithuanian events and is worth exploring. The year 2011 sees the 90th anniversary of the museum, an event celebrated with the opening of two new exhibits. Warfare in Pre-Historic Times contains a display of artefacts such as hatchets and arrowheads found in the area dating back to the 13th century, whilst the History of Warfare of the Lithuanian Grand Duchy of the 13th-17th centuries includes maps of the country during these times and famous battle scenes depicted in oils among much else.
