The museum was formed in January, 1947. It is the only museum in our district that collects, completes and popularizes materials of history of country and town concerning archaeology, art, and ethnography.

  Since 1989 the scientific workers of museum are busy preparing monographs and publications relating to the history of civilization concerning Latvia, Courland dukedom, Bauska town and region. The essays include archive records piled up during long time of museum activities, and the results of scientific research expeditions. The standpoints of previous publications are analysed and discussed, the materials are summarized.
