Antanas Žmuidzinavičius‘s Fun, Irreverant Collection That Got Out of Hand!
Devil's Museum的点评
点评：The Devil’s museum in Kaunas is a fun and quirky place to visit! Of all the places in the world, one wonders why there is a Devil’s museum in the second city of a nation that is still fairly religious. This is all explained inside!
Essentially, well known Lithuanian artist Antanas Žmuidzinavičius was gifted a large wooden ornament where an angelic being was stamping on the figure of a devil. It was, however, too large to be transported to him in one piece and the gifter decided to cut away the angelic figure above the feet and give him just the feet and devil. Whilst it kept its original meaning, Antanas, having a fantastic, and irreverent, sense of humour loved it. To the point that friends and family would go to places and purchase devils for him to add to his ever growing collection.
The museum does a good job of displaying the collection given to him on the first floor, those donated after his death on the second, and then a devils from around the world section on the top. There’s a real mix of grotesque, humourous, and frightening depictions, wonderfully accompanied by ideas of what a devil is, in writing. Different cultures have different meanings of devils, why they manifest, and to what extent they play tricks, deceive and torment, and these stories are well worth reading. There are good examples of folk tales, and I wouldn’t skip these!
In addition to this, there are several rooms of his artwork, and his maintained house and studios, where he lived and worked. Also worth a look!
Definitely come armed with Antanas’s sense of fun and humour, and enjoy a light hearted museum full of excellent artwork and playful nature. No, it’s not a satanists paradise, designed to ensnare the average person, nor is it a scare attraction. It is what it is, a human collection of a joke that got out of hand! If you’ve ever collected anything in your life, you’ll probably understand.
If you’re going something heavier in subject, like the Great War Museum, or visiting the IX Fort, whiling away an amusing hour or so here, might just be the perfect tonic for afterwards!

翻译：考纳斯的“魔鬼博物馆”是一个有趣又别致的好去处！在世界上那么多地方中，人们不禁会好奇：为何在一个宗教信仰仍较为浓厚的国家里，其第二大城市竟然会有一座魔鬼博物馆呢？答案就在馆内！
事情的起因是：著名的立陶宛艺术家安塔纳斯·日穆伊津纳维丘斯收到了一件大型木制装饰品，上面刻着一个天使正踩在魔鬼身上的图案。不过，实际上……这个物件太大，无法整件运送给他，于是赠送者决定切下脚部上方的天使形象，只把脚部和魔鬼的部分送给他。虽然失去了原本的寓意，但拥有绝妙且带点不敬意味的幽默感的安塔纳斯却非常喜欢。以至于他的亲友们会特意去各处购买魔鬼雕像，来增添他那日益庞大的收藏。
博物馆很好地在一楼展出了赠予他的这些藏品。在2号页面上，有他去世后人们捐赠的作品，页面顶部还有一个“来自世界各地的魔鬼”板块。其中包含了各种怪诞、幽默又恐怖的描绘，文字内容也精彩地阐释了“魔鬼”究竟是什么。不同文化对魔鬼有着不同的定义：它们为何会出现、会在多大程度上搞恶作剧、欺骗或折磨人类。这些故事非常值得一读。书中还有许多优秀的民间故事范例，我建议可千万别错过！除此之外，这里还有多个陈列着他艺术作品的展厅，以及他生前居住和工作的房子与工作室。同样值得一看！
一定要带着安塔纳斯那份风趣幽默的心态前来，尽情享受这座充满出色艺术作品与 playful气息的博物馆吧。不，这里并非专门用来诱骗普通人的“撒旦崇拜者天堂”，也不是什么恐怖主题的景点。它就是那样——一个因玩笑过度而演变成现实的“人类收藏品”罢了！如果你这辈子曾经收集过什么东西，或许就能理解这种心情。
如果你打算去参观一些主题较为严肃的景点，比如第一次世界大战博物馆或第九堡垒，那么在这里悠闲地消磨一个小时左右，或许正是参观之后最佳的放松方式哦！
