Another Museum I really wanted to go to was the Devil Museum. This was a museum Kevin didn't come to on his mission, so he wasn't quite as enthusiastic about visiting it, but I think he was won over in the end.
This museum consisted of the devil collection of a Lithuanian artist. We saw some of his work too, and it was mostly landscapes, so not sure how he became obsessed with devils. There were 3-4 floors filled with devil figurines and a few paintings. Most of the figurines were small, but there were some large pieces. Most of the devils did not fit the traditional American devil description, but if you have read Faust, the devils fit more in that category, cunning pranksters that stole your soul in return for some small favor to you. There were also a lot of goats depicting devils (I found this offensive because I like goats and don't think they are devilish. They are just troublemakers who make life entertaining.) There were devils from various cultures, and it was interesting to see how each viewed the devil.
Unfortunately pictures were not allowed in the museum. It was also more expensive than the other museums, but it was laid out better. Plus, expensive in Lithuanian is honestly just normal prices in the U.S. I think that was a definitely perk to vacationing in Lithuania.
