Information Centre-Museum
The wooden building of the museum resembles a cultural house like ones that were built in the 1940’s and 50’s. The sound, cinema and photo documentaries collected and displayed at the information centre and museum, show and denounce the ideologized Soviet propaganda culture, pseudo-science, the aims, mechanism and forms of the Soviet ideology and propaganda, and disclose the genocide of the Lithuanian nation.

The Picture Gallery
The exposition of paintings and graphic works created in the Soviet realism style reflects the ideologized communist society, the cult of the Soviet Union leaders Lenin, Stalin, Brezhnev and others as well as episodes of the entrenchment of the Soviet rule.

The Park of Soviet Sculptures was opened in 2001. The collection of the museum consists of monumental sculptures and bas-reliefs of "heroes" of the Soviet period, the sound, cinema, photodocumentaries, paintings and graphic works created in the Soviet realism style. This material symbolizes brutality and absurdity of the Soviet system and occupation, reflects manipulation of the facts of history and shows the distorted memory of the history.

The Exposition of Soviet Sculptures:
Here in the shade of firs and pines, the Soviet era monuments, torn down in 1989-1991 and brought from Lithuanian cities and towns, are expansively laid out. Grutas Park is situated on a 20 ha area, exhibiting 86 works by 46 authors. Monumental sculptures are positioned in a 2 km-long exposition.
These idols and symbols, thrust upon the Lithuanian nation during the tragic Soviet era, reveal to us and our children the historical truth abou the Soviet occupation in Lithuania. Grouping of the sculptures of the park of the "Soviet lager" is based on the fact that all these historical characters more or less took part in organizing and carrying out the terror, anti-state activity annihilating statehood of Lithuania.
The sculptures are grouped in a "circle" not avoiding putting some of them with their back (side) to the visitor.
