More information

Accessible only as part of the Art Deco Museum’s experiential tours, booked in advance, the apartment is a real-world time machine, taking visitors back to the days when Kaunas served as Lithuania’s provisional capital. Over the years, it was home to multiple public figures, military attachés, intellectuals, tax inspectors, and other notables of interwar Kaunas.

The museum features many fascinating exhibits, including an authentic Guglielmo Marconi radio, glass light switches, still functional toaster, Great Depression-era furniture, and more. To get a better feel for the period, visitors are welcome not only to look at the exhibits, but also to interact with them. Sit down on an old sofa or chair, make some toast in the kitchen, get a drink of water from an authentic glass, inspect the contents of wardrobes and drawers – and feel the foreboding yet promising spirit of the 1930s.
