The museum was opened in March 1987, thanks to the efforts of the last head of the Zamoyski Family Fee Tail, Jan Tomasz Zamoyski.[1] As part of the museum exhibition you can see monuments of sacred art from the treasury of the cathedral, including:
- The coronation alb of King Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki,
- liturgical vestments - the oldest from the 16th and 17th centuries,
- liturgical vessels, reliquaries, votive offerings and church books,
- portraits of Prelates and Zamoyski headwinders, including coffin portraits.
Following renovation and conservation work in 2018-2019 covering both buildings (the Infułatka and the Vicarage),[2] from 2020 the museum will consist of two main expositions occupying the aforementioned two historic buildings: the Vicarage (3 Kolegiacka St.) houses the "Treasury of History, Art and Science" [3] exhibition, while the Infułatka (1a Kolegiacka St.) is dedicated to the "Fabrica Ecclesiace museum of technology and architecture" exhibition.[4]
