The main task of the museum is to collect historical documents and materials, photographs and publications related to the history of Gdynia.

The museum received at its disposal a building called "House of Abraham" and an exhibition pavilion. In 2002, construction began on a modern museum building, which was inaugurated on November 16, 2007, in the presence of Polish President Lech Kaczynski.

A variety of unique photographic materials are designed to highlight the city's maritime history.
