The Biržiška Family Museum holds a distinguished place in the history of the town, preserving the extensive legacy of the Biržiška family, including furniture, books, documents, and photographs. This exhibition includes: Reconstruction of the Residence: Built on the original foundations, preserving authentic materials. Today, the house not only hosts the town's library but also commemorates the three brothers who made significant contributions to Lithuanian science and culture. Presentation of Dr. Antanas Biržiška's Family Life: The exhibition, located in Dr. Antanas Biržiška's study, offers a glimpse into the family's daily life and work through personal items, family photographs, and other relics. Lives and Works of Professors M. V. V. Biržiška: This section is dedicated to

all three brothers and their contributions to Lithuanian academic and cultural fields, featuring documents, personal photographs, and scholarly publications. The museum is an important cultural and historical landmark for the town. Its development is seen as a part of the town's life, starting with the demolition of the house in 2005, followed by the relocation of the town library in 2008, the official opening of the Prof. Biržiška exhibition in 2009, and the landscaping completed in 2011. In the public space dedicated to the memory of the country and the town stands a monument to the Biržiška family, created by sculptor Č. Pečiukas. Visitors can also honor the memory of the professors' parents and learn about the "Health House" established by Mykolas Biržiška at the old Viekšniai cemetery.
