The museum continues the tradition of the local museum association, which was founded in 1905. It provides professional research and collection activities, especially in the fields of archaeology, history and ethnography.

The memorial commemorating the victims of the Holocaust of the Roma and Sinti is located on the authentic site where the Protectorate's so-called Gypsy camp operated between 1942 and 1943. The exhibition is dedicated to the period 1940-1950, when various types of camps, including the so-called Gypsy camp, internment camp and TNP, were established on the site.
