The museum possesses both an archaeological and a paleontological collection. The materials in the archaeological collection originate from sites in Vinodol. The materials from an ancient ceramic workshop that operated in the area known as Ad Turres (which corresponds to present-day Crikvenica) in the 1^st and 2^nd centuries AD are particularly prominent.The paleontological collection consists of finds from the pit of Vrtara mala, located in Dramalj near Crikvenica, where valuable fossilised remains of Pleistocene animals have been excavated.

The museum organises temporary exhibitions accompanied by various events.
