The Samogitian Diocese Museum, located in the historic buildings of the Samogitian Priest Seminary in Varniai, is a branch of the Samogitian Museum "Alka." It showcases centuries-old sacred treasures from Samogitian churches, art pieces, and historical and archaeological artifacts dating back to the 15th–16th centuries.

Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in a multifaceted narrative about the history of the Samogitian Diocese, experience the Baroque spirit of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and enjoy panoramic views of Varniai from the museum's tower. Guided tours also provide access to the authentic spaces of the priest seminary, preserving a rich historical legacy.

Educational programs offer visitors of all ages an engaging way to explore the sacred heritage of Samogitia and embark on a journey through time.
