Grūtas Park, located near Druskininkai, Lithuania, is an open-air museum that houses a collection of Soviet-era statues and artifacts. Established in 2001, the park was created by Lithuanian entrepreneur Viliumas Malinauskas and aims to preserve historical relics from the Soviet occupation of Lithuania. The park features sculptures of prominent Soviet leaders such as Lenin and Stalin, as well as various propaganda pieces that were removed from public spaces after Lithuania regained independence in 1990. In addition to the statues, the park includes replicas of Gulag-style watchtowers and other structures, creating an immersive experience that offers visitors a glimpse into the oppressive atmosphere of the Soviet era.
