Weak Keep. This is mentioned in a lot of literature about Kaunas, and seems to be a notable attraction of the city. Here are some references in print tour guides[3][4], a news report[5], and online tour guides[6] And a mention in a photo caption in The New Yorker.[7]. However, there is possibly some conflict among of these sources as to whether the "Museum for the Blind" is (or was) an exhibit in a gallery[8], a temporary exhibit in a church, or an actual museum[9]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:45, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. (I created it). In addition to the Let's Go Travel Guides coverage, and the Lithuanian Museum Association site already used in the article, it has significant coverage in the newspaper Kauno diena [10], several paragraphs in Delfi.lt [11], and an entry in the Kaunas County official tourist information website [12]. I think that represents enough coverage.
Yes, there is also a "A unique permanent exhibition 'Museum for the Blind'" at M. Zilinskas Art Gallery, which is a new, nearby, above-ground gallery in downtown Kaunas. See[13] for more info. That's the one featured in the New Yorker. This one is in the catacombs of St. Michael the Archangel Church, as noted in the Let's Go Travel Guides guides to Eastern Europe and Europe.[14], [15].
