The museum building was constructed in 1910 by the Committee of Union and Progress. The structure, with a rectangular plan, consists of three floors including a basement. Materials reflecting the architectural characteristics of the period were used in its construction.
The museum collection includes artifacts from the Paleolithic, Chalcolithic, Early Bronze, Hittite, Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods. Exhibited items include pottery, bronze objects, glassware, figurines, seals, coins and sculptures. In the museum garden, sarcophagi, grave stelae and architectural elements from various periods are displayed.
The Atatürk Room, located within a section of the museum, is dedicated to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s 1925 visit to Kastamonu. The room displays personal belongings used by Atatürk during this visit and photographs related to the Hat and Clothing Revolution.
