Grutas Park is a sculpture garden of Soviet-era statues and an exposition of other ideological relics, founded by the Lithuanian entrepreneur Viliumas Malinauskas, near Druskininkai, about 130 km southeast of Vilnius, Lithuania. It is unofficially called Stalin's World or Stalin World. After Lithuania regained its independence in 1990, these statues were all taken down and dumped in different places. Later Malinauskas requested the Lithuanian authorities to grant him possession of the sculptures, so that he could build a privately-financed museum.
