The museum's collection contains items related to the history of the city of Bialystok, whose original city plan was drawn up according to the rules of Baroque composition. Jan Klemens Branicki's palace was built in the same style, and was the grandest aristocratic residence of eighteenth-century Poland, called the "Versailles of Podlasie". A model of the city's eighteenth-century urban design is on permanent display. There are also documents and relics from all over the Podlasie region, including items related to the Tatar minority living there.
