The began to take shape and develop since the founding of the Museum. The Collection has been continuously replenished by acquisitions and donations, and today it has 606 objects (2020). The Collection contains objects mainly made by skilled craftsmen, but also by self-taught individuals, mainly from the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. Since the museum's founding, the collection policy has been focused on objects that are particularly beautifully shaped and ornamented, and represent high achievements of folk art, mainly from all over Croatia (chests, chairs, benches, beds, cradles). It was gradually expanded with artifacts from some parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro (chairs and chests). The task of the Museum was to collect and exhibit individual objects in the sense of a special museum recording of folk culture. Ethnological discourse emphasized the need to view objects in their original context and from multiple perspectives, such as material, function, technique, and the development of ornaments in the past. Since 1995, the Furniture Collection has been studied from the certain aspects of housing culture, i.e., the way of life in a residential space that relates to furniture, and has been replenished by acquisition of industrially produced items (bedrooms, kitchen cupboards) that were characteristic of a certain period. Due to its cultural and historical value, the Collection has been fully processed and prepared for registration in the Register of Cultural Property of the Republic of Croatia (2020).
