The facility's exhibition activities include exhibitions of its own archaeological, historical, ethnographic and art collections as well as monuments borrowed from other museums. Currently, the museum's collection numbers over 23,000. exhibits.
The museum has been visiting the Głogów castle since 1976, after the reconstruction of the east wing. The architecture and history of the building are also interesting. The castle was built in the 13th century, but the expansion and reconstruction lasted until the end of the 18th century.
Interesting facts related to the construction include the fact that at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries resided here Prince Zygmunt Jagiellończyk. The building acquired its current appearance in the 18th century, then becoming a palace residence. In the interwar period, it housed a royal court, and the remaining rooms were converted into private apartments. In 1945, during the siege of Głogów by the Soviet Army, the building collapsed. It was rebuilt only in 1971-1983.
