Kaunas and two of its museums

 Kaunas and two of its museums.

If you keep your eyes open, there is always something to see and be amused by such as tis bicycle wrapped in fabric outside a clothes shop.

The synagogue.

The Devil's Museum which displays masks, figurines and artwork of the devil from around the world.

And here are just a few examples...



And on the other side of the building and nothing in common with the devil is a display of Antanas Zmuidzinavicius' art work and some of his rooms as he had left them, and his preferred artwork were local scenery


The dining room...

...his study...
...a bedroom...
...and his studio...and just to add to the mystery, there were a couple of rooms dedicated to the paintings of another artist, Simon Karczmar for no apparent reason


Next was the War Museum...
                                                    
...with its clock tower off to one side.
The Great Hall with cars and planes...
...with displays of war from ancient times....
..through the ages...

up to the First and Second World Wars.
