From the beginning of the 1970s, the museum specialization was established in three main areas: the art collection regarding the history of the city and the entire West Pomerania, hunting, and goldsmithing.

The museum was established half a century later when the historical interests were again enlivened by the ceremonial celebrations of the 600th anniversary of Szczecinek creation in 1910.

The association members included well-known citizens of the city of Szczecinek: K. Tümpel, E. Wille, landrat (head of the county) Ernst von Hertzberg, and painter Paul Stubbe.

[8] At the end of World War II, in February 1945, after the city was taken over by the Soviet army, part of the collection was thrown out of the window.

At that moment it was supposed to be located in the church tower of St. Nicholas, but later it was scheduled to be moved to the Castle of Dukes of Pomerania (Zamek Książąt Pomorskich) in Szczecinek.

[11] Ultimately, thanks to the former mayor of the city, Marian Tomasz Goliński, the museum was moved to the 19th-century building of the former local school.

[12] Thanks to the EU grant money, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, and the financing from the city of Szczecinek, the building had been adapted for museum purposes.

[16]" Over the years the museum displayed the art work of other artists: "Stanisław Graczyk, Great Poles"[17]., "Szczecinek in Photography of Zbigniew Gabalis"[18]., "Andrzej Foryś"[19]., Maciej Gaca "Unimportant Drawings of a frivolous Guy"[20]., and many more.
