What Awaits You

Authenticity here is not a decoration, but the foundation. Interiors, objects, sound, multimedia and characters come together in one story. Through human destinies, the villa reveals not only everyday life in Tilsit, but also the events that changed the city. Step into the image of historical figures and feel the era from within.

After your walk through the villa, we invite you to rest in the cafe. The menu includes classic dishes and selections inspired by historic cuisine. Come and try them.
The cafe is open daily from 09:00 to 20:00.
Souvenir Shop
After your walk through the villa, stop by the souvenir shop in the first-floor hall. Here you will find elegant little keepsakes, each carrying a memory of the era.
Children’s Space
We created a cozy and safe corner so that a visit to the villa is comfortable for the whole family. While you explore the exhibitions or enjoy coffee, your children will be supervised and busy with engaging activities.
The room is open to all young museum guests and visitors to our cafe.
We welcome children aged 3 to 10
(children under 3 may stay in the room when accompanied by adults).
Admission is completely free
with an entrance ticket to the historical space or a receipt from the cafe.
Photo Atelier
Transform into Franz Frank himself or a character from his circle. The photo atelier offers period costumes and accessories, everything you need for a journey through time. You can receive your photo keepsake digitally or in print.
A Space for Meetings, Events and New Stories
Villa Franka is not only an exhibition space. Chamber concerts, gastronomic evenings, children’s events and private gatherings take place here. Historic interiors become the setting for new stories.
If you are reading these lines, it means you are preparing to honor Villa Franka with your presence: not merely a house, but, dare we say, an entire era in stone and brick, built at the dawn of technical progress and spiritual searching. Step inside and feel the breath of time in this house of an era!
