Vytautas the Great War Museum (Lithuanian: Vytauto Didžiojo karo muziejus) is a museum in Kaunas, Lithuania. It was opened on 16 February 1936 and named after the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas. The museum displays a history of Lithuania and Kaunas from prehistoric times to the present day, as well as an immense collection of weapons through the ages and the tragic but complete wreckage of the plane Lituanica, on which Steponas Darius and Stasys Girėnas had crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1933.
