The archeological display exhibits objects created in the period from the Early Stone Age to the Middle Ages. The area of Northern Banat was a transit area in prehistoric times, and no culture and people stayed in these areas for long. The reason was swampy and inaccessible land. Nevertheless, numerous objects from the daily life of people: tools, weapons, vessels and jewelry, discovered in the localities of Mokrin, Ostojićevo, Podlokanj and Iđoš, testify to the life of people around Kikinda.
For the youngest visitors in the museum, the Club is open - a space for research, fun and learning. In it, through various contents, children discover local heritage and spend quality free time. In the Club, they can find out more about the mammoth, the small woodpecker, Suvača and other identities of the city, as well as about the museum's collections.
On the historical display dedicated to the origin of the city, the most prominent place is occupied by the Velikokikindа District Flag from 1867. The historical display dedicated to wars displays flags, weapons, helmets, flasks, as well as written sources and photographs, objects that bear witness to war times and rebellions. The display dedicated to the development of the city displays objects that evoke the cultural and economic boom in the second half of the 19th century.
The museum's ethnological collection is represented by the interior of a Banat house and with exposed furniture, furnishings, clothes and costumes, it depicts the daily life of people in Banat a hundred years ago. Models of houses testify to the folk architecture in these areas, and various agricultural tools and tools used by artisans testify to the work done by the people. A special place is occupied by the model of the Suvača - the Banat plain mill.
