The Visaginas Regional Museum was established in 2014 at the Visaginas Cultural Centre. Photographic archives of historical value, written works and a collection of souvenirs and exhibits reflecting the development of the city were all taken over from the Visaginas Public Library and many residents of the city.

The aim of the Visaginas Regional Museum is to commemorate the past of the region and to preserve it for the benefit of future generations. In the context of the emerging museum, its strategy is to implement temporary projects without being tied to a certain place, thus abandoning the traditional perception of what a museum is.
