    Very small museum consisting of three rooms. Mostly local artefacts about the Karaim people who were Turkic speakers who came to Trakai in the14th century on invitation by the Grand Duke Vytautas. The Karaim are adherents of a minor Jewish sect. If you are interested in ethnography or the history of minority ethnic groups, don't miss this of you are in Trakai. A few euros and about 20 minutes is all you need.

    Nice museum about a small community not known at all, not expensive and take only around 15-30 minutes to do, definitely worth a look

    Samurai armor is always fun, but apparently it was gifted to Karaims by Japanese friends/scientists. It's not a Karaim armor. Otherwise, a couple of pictures and Middle Eastern stuff

    (Translated by Google) Very interesting small collection / exhibition on a little-known ethnic group! I did not know the Karaim people and I liked to learn more about their presence in Lithuania. (Original) Petite collection / expo très intéressante sur une ethnie méconnue ! Je ne connaissais pas le peuple des Karaims et j'ai aimé en apprendre plus sur leur présence en Lituanie.

    (Translated by Google) Literally two rooms with a little information about the Karaites in Lithuania. Plus karaite things. But entrance tickets are inexpensive. (Original) Буквально две комнаты с небольшой информацией о караимах в Литве. Плюс караимские вещи. Зато вход билеты недорогие.

  • 3/5 Aaa A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) They forgot that the entire ethnography of Lithuania is closely related to the Commonwealth (Original) Zapomnieli że cała etnografia Litwy jest powiązana ściśle z Rzeczypospolitą

  • 4/5 Virginijus K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good museums to find out more about the life of the Krems in their everyday life. (Original) Geras muziejud norint daugiau sužinoti apie kraimų gyvenimą jų buitį.

  • 5/5 Seweryn K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A complete surprise. I expected another small and boring museum and experienced something completely different. Many unusual exhibits and additionally (or maybe above all) very interesting stories and comments from a lady working in a museum and speaking Polish well. My 10-year-old daughter was probably even happier. Definitely worth 2 € per adult and 1 € per child. (Original) Całkowite zaskoczenie. Spodziewałem się kolejnego małego i nudnego muzeum a doświadczyłem czegoś zupełnie innego. Wiele nietuzinkowych eksponatów i dodatkowo (a może przede wszystkim) bardzo ciekawe historie i komentarze ze strony pani pracującej w muzeum i świetnie mówiącej po polsku. Moja 10-letnia córka była chyba jeszcze bardziej zadowolona. Zdecydowanie warte 2€ za osobę dorosłą i 1€ za dziecko.

  • 5/5 Katarzyna P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The cottage itself is small. But the exposition is interesting and rich. Visitors to Trakai must visit here to get acquainted with the Karaim culture. (Original) Pats namelis nedidelis. Bet ekspozicija Idomi ir turtinga. Lankantiems Trakuose butina čia užsukti, kad supažinti su karaimu kultura.

  • 5/5 Konrad M. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very friendly service in Polish, without charging for tickets when someone has already visited the castle. I recommend that you should see a piece of the history of this nation. (Original) Bardzo miła obsługa w języku polskim, bez naciągania na bilety jak ktoś już był na zamku. Polecam, warto zobaczyć kawałek historii tego narodu.

  • 5/5 Arye H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A fascinating community that believes only in written Torah. She did not lose her faith and, thanks to her modesty, succeeded in the Holocaust. At the museum you can try to decipher the riddle of the interesting community. (Original) קהילה מרתקת המאמינה רק בתורה שבכתב. לא מחצינה את אמונתה ובזכות צניעותה צלחה את השואה. במוזאון אפשר לנסות לפענח את חידתה של הקהילה המעניינת.

  • 4/5 Agnese R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) An interesting museum to learn something new about the Lithuanian people. Keep in mind that the castle ticket has a 50% discount on all other museums, the first one to visit the castle. Otherwise, take the full price. The museum was interested in these folks - the Karaims. (Original) Interesants muzejs, kur uzzināt ko jaunu par Lietuvas ļaudīm. Ņemiet vērā, ka ar pils biļeti visos citos muzejos ir 50% atlaide, sanāk, ka pirmā jāapmeklē pils. Citādi paņem pilnu cenu. Muzejs ieinteresēja par šiem ļaudīm- karaīmiem.
