The museum building is a historic monument and was built in early 20th century. The collection illustrates the history of the Bistriţa Valley, from the Palaeolithic to the present day, and, in 1992 it was enriched with an ethnographic exhibition (foresting and rafting, national costumes). The museum was established following the complex researches by the Romanian Academy in the area of the storage basin of the Bicaz Hydropower Plant. The results of these researches were put to good use and introduced into the scientific circuit by the museum exhibition. Meanwhile a segment of the exhibition themes is dedicated to the construction of the "Dimitrie Leonida" Hydropower Plant.
