the Museum has acquired the rank of a district museum, in 1958
it was moved to the Town Hall dating from the middle of the 18th
century.

search work conducted all over the voivodship of Bialystok,
and especially in the region of Suwalki. The most valuable
items in the collection include provineial Roman relics from
a 3rd-century burial ground at Rostolty in the county of
Bialystok (giass and bronze objects). The exhibition presents
the earliest history of the Bialystok region, especially that
of the Sudovian people, based on the latest archaeological
