A museum in the tower of Kaunas Castle exploring the castle's history, its reconstructions and the city's origins.
The exhibitions occupy restored and reconstructed spaces in the castle tower, telling the story of the castle's changing form and purpose. Its history is linked to a military campaign in 1361, whose account mentions Kaunas.
Adult admission is 4 Eur. Students and visitors of retirement age pay 2 Eur; schoolchildren and preschool children enter free. The museum publishes the full list of concessions and required supporting documents.
