Auto Museum Vilnius sits in a unique industrial heritage site, the old Vilnius taxi depot from the 1970s. This private museum is the largest historical transport museum in Lithuania, and it opened in 2023. The 110 unique exhibits from a private collection stand out because of their high collectible value and authenticity. Each car looks like an artwork that reveals the story of global motorisation, from nineteenth-century carriages to today’s modern classics.
What awaits at the Auto Museum Vilnius
Families with young children and teenagers find several authentic games in the museum. These activities not only engage them but also help them learn even more about the history of automotive evolution. The detective game excites young visitors. In the 4500 m² museum, children search for a hidden letter code and later receive the answer after they decode it correctly.
Tired young detectives can rest in the children’s corner created by Automuziejus Vilnius. They find colouring sheets with vintage car themes. They also build their own museum from Lego bricks or try an authentic 1970 rocking “Ferrari” children’s car.
Older children can play the “cold beetroot soup rally.” They search for cars that match the colours of the soup ingredients.
Both the young detectives and the older explorers receive a surprise when they leave the museum, as long as they give the correct answer. We tried both games, and they truly engage children, although you should be ready to help because the whole family joins in without even noticing.
The museum also offers a unique attraction called “legendary car fitting.” The legendary 1908–1927 Ford T, the Vyatka VP 150 – a copy of the Vespa model produced in the Soviet Union from 1957 to 1966 – and the military motorcycle KMZ MV-750 stand open for visitors. People can sit inside these vehicles, touch them, and take photos in them.
On the last Sunday of every month, the museum invites visitors to a free guided tour. You pay only for entry, and the guided tour comes at no extra charge. You can find the information on the Auto museum’s website.
