Exposition
During archaeological excavations in Tuskulėnai park 724
human remains of soviet regime victims have been found and it was decided to
immortalize their memory by creating the Memorial Complex of the Tuskulėnai
Peace Park. The most important element in the park is a chapel-columbarium.
It is a building of an outstanding architectural design which can be
associated with a barrow. Under it a chapel and a gallery of crypts are
located. A dome of the chapel is decorated with Gitenis Umbrasas’ mosaic
“Trinity” and the exterior of the barrow is crested with a crown form
sculpture of Gediminas Karalius. In the crypts of the columbarium remains of
the people tortured and murdered by the soviet state security officers
(1944–1947) were laid to rest.

The Memorial Complex of the Tuskulėnai Peace park also

former Tuskulėnai manor.

In the basement of the small White manor house an
exhibition “Secrets of Tuskulėnai manor” is being created. With the help of
it visitors will be able to know stories of people buried in Tuskulėnai
columbarium, executors, and other evidence of historical research.
In Tuskulėnai manor house an educational-informational centre will be based
and some expositions telling the story of appearance and formation of soviet
mentality, mockingly called “homo sovieticus”, proceeded from forties to
eighties, will be created.
