In July 2017, a successful photo exhibition of local history was organized in the museum. The pictures were selected from more than 1000 vintage photographs, shared by local families, illustrating various themes: family portraits, old-fashioned buildings, celebration and grief, religious events, school life, the Teleki Castle and its park.
The collection has continued to grow ever since, and serves as a unique repository of historical and cultural values of the town, and its region, formerly known as Ţara Chioarului (Kővár District).
