Interesting multi-tiered museum
The City Museum is the landmark that dominates this spacious,pretty square.When I arrived it was bucketing it down with rain.This provided a good window to escape the wet weather and is well worth seeing. This is a multi-tiered museum with a basement,first floor to visit and Tower to scale to get a fairly good view of the Square from above. The basement used to be a prison and houses some interesting artifacts,the first floor has multiple rooms of interest,The white Room/Main Hall is especially impressive.I was lucky enough to be the only person in the room at the time,so I got some great pictures here. I also enjoyed my visit to the top of the Tower.You only get a view from a few smallish windows,but still worth the climb.You can also to get to admire the Clock in the Clock Tower up close. I also got in for free as on this particular special day -museum were free of charge in Kaunas. I then take a guided tour,just explored the museum on my own.
