The Museum is located in the former Vilnius Gubernia courts building which was built in 1899. During the Soviet occupations (in 1940-1941 and 1944-1990), the building belonged to the repressive Soviet Institutions (NKVD, NKGB, MGB, KGB) and during the Nazi occupation (in 1941-1944), it was owned by German security. This is where plans for the annihilation of the population and persecution of dissenters were created. During the occupations, there was a prison in the basement of the building, and during the second Soviet occupation, there was a chamber for executing death sentences. The names of those who fought for freedom and who were shot by soviets in this prison in 1944-1947 are engraved on the side of the building. In addition to the Museum, the building currently houses courts of the Republic of Lithuania, divisions of the Genocide and Resistance Research Centre of Lithuania, and the Lithuanian Special Archives, where archival documents of the Soviet security are stored.
