In 1964 the museum purchased part of the private collection of Josip Nikolaj Sadnikar, which had been exhibited in the town from the end of the 19th century, comprising antiques, sacred art, paintings by Slovene artists who studied in Vienna in the late 19th century and Chinese and Japanese art.
In addition to objects from the Sadnikar collection, the museum houses a salon containing several important Baroque paintings and an important collection of so-called Thonet bentwood furniture (the only one in Slovenia) which displays many objects from the nearby chair factory in Duplica near Kamnik, manufacturer of this furniture since the start of the 20th century.
There is also an exhibition on the history of the middle classes of Kamnik in the 19th century which portrays bourgeois family life and the town of Kamnik during that period.
During the 1970s an open-air museum was arranged in the castle forecourt, presenting the architectural heritage of the area which has now become nearly extinct. Four characteristic granaries from the Tuhinj Valley have been set up here, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The oldest one from 1793 also exhibits its entire former inventory.
In the early 1980s a lapidary collection was arranged in the arcades of the castle's side wing. This includes selected stones from the archaeological and art heritage of the region.
In 1979, on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the first reference to the burgers of Kamnik, the museum opened a gallery dedicated to local painter and graphic artist Miha Maleš.
