In 1964 the museum purchased part of the private collection of Josip Nikolaj Sadnikar (1863–1952), 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, the museum houses a castle salon, renovated in 1997, containing several important Baroque and historical paintings from the end of 19th century. It is used as multipurpose room for meetings, press conferences, opening of the temporary exhibitions (in 2004 the exhibition General Rudolf Maister and the City of Kamnik).
The collection of the so-called Thonet bentwood furniture (the only one in Slovenia) 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 with portraits of the bourgeois family life and of 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, including selected stones from the archaeological and art history heritage of the region, i.e., tombstone of nobleman Wiederkehr. Lapidarium was renovated in 2003.

Since 2007 the museum enriched the collections with 486 items of the pastoral heritage from Velika planina, collected by Vlasto Kopač (1913–2006), the architect of Velika planina, in an exhibition of significant value.
