The museum, founded in 1933, has been an allowance organisation of the Zlín Region since 2003. The expert and professional focus of the Museum goes beyond the boundaries of the region. The core of the Museum’s activities is care and protection of museum collections. Its respective specialist departments maintain and present extensive collection funds, including the works of a prominent Czech painter and graphic artist and native of Kroměříž Max Švabinský. The museum has its own education department, which creates thematic activities and prepares accompanying education and interpretation programmes on the exhibitions and displays for schools and the public.
The institution focuses on exhibition, lecturing, and publication activities, provides expert consultations for researchers and students from high schools and universities, and cooperates with other memory institutions. The museum runs a publicly accessible expert library with a reading room.
The Kroměříž District Museum runs and manages also the Windmill in Velké Těšany (national historical landmark), and the Open-air museum in Rymice.
