Biržai Museum was established on February 16, 1928. On March 9, 1989, the town of Biržai celebrated the 400th anniversary of the Magdeburg rights being granted to it. On that same day, the museum opened its doors to the public. The museum is situated since then in the newly restored palace of Biržai castle. In 1991, it took up the name "Sėla" Biržai Region Museum due to the fact that Biržai lies on the lands where the ancient Selonian tribe lived centuries ago.
The museum boasts a wide variety of collections related to ethnography, religion, warfare and the history of Biržai region. It also hosts temporary exhibitions by local or international artists. In addition, the museum organises educational programs for children, teens and adults.
