    The Vilna Gaon Jewish State Museum in Vilnius, Lithuania, offers visitors a somber and educational experience focused on Jewish history and culture in Lithuania. The museum is spread across several locations in Vilnius, each highlighting different aspects of Jewish life and the Holocaust.

    Visitors appreciate the museum's comprehensive exhibits that cover the rich Jewish heritage of Lithuania, from medieval times through the tragic events of World War II and beyond. The Green House, one of the main branches, provides a detailed and moving account of the Holocaust in Lithuania, which many find particularly impactful.
