The museum was founded in the first half of the 20th century on the initiative of a Slovak industrialist and textile merchant - Salomon Berger. He became the first director of the facility. The seat of the museum is located in an Art Nouveau building from 1903.

An important person associated with the museum was Professor Vladimir Tkalchich, who was engaged in thorough research into folk handicrafts, and is the author of valuable publications on, among other things, Croatian lace.
