After both World Wars, the city of Tauragė remained especially devastated. The installation “Lost Tauragė” is located in the basement of the tower. Here, special attention is paid to imitating reality: the gloomy environment, the scattering of the wreckage of imitation weapons and the smoke of nitrogen makes it feel as if you are hiding in a bunker and a war is going on above us. On the first floor of the Tower of Ages, a film about the history of the city is shown through video projections across the entire wall. On the second floor, a meditative environment has been created, where a stylized space can be seen in the vault of the tower, and conventional sounds can be heard in the background. Visitors can lie on the floor.
In the eastern tower of the castle prof. dr. Eugenijus Jovaiša’s archeological exposition was established. Visitors will get to know the oldest history of our country, which dates back to the first centuries after Christ.

Photography gallery is located in one of the towers of Tauragė Castle, which was started by the then museum photographer Romualdas Vaitkus. Since its establishment in 2003, the gallery has been organizing exhibitions of the most famous Lithuanian photographers, press photographers and local photographers. The gallery’s exposition is formed through two floors of the tower, where it is possible to exhibit 30-40 large-format works.
