Housed in a historic school building constructed in 1873, the museum moved into this location after the Kraljevo Municipal Assembly transferred ownership in 1985.[2] The building underwent extensive renovations, with the first phase completed in 1995, adding a large, representative gallery.[2] The final phase, completed between 2002 and 2005, expanded the museum to a total area of 1,270 square meters over four levels.[2] The museum is located across the street from the local archive and next to the Church of the Holy Trinity.
It is a comprehensive museum with its entire collection divided into six categories: Natural History, Archaeology, Numismatics, History, Ethnology, and Art. In addition to the main building on Sveti Sava Square in Kraljevo, the Museum also includes a building on Karađorđeva Street where the Olivera Radojković Čolović Legacy is housed. Together with the Historical Archive of Kraljevo the museum publishes peer reviewed annual journal Naša prošlost.[3]
