The museum collection is housed in the Bishopric Palace, built between 1745 and 1748, during the time of Gheorghe Popovici, bishop of Timişoara, on the place of the earlier palace. At first the building was a modest, one-storied one, but in 1906 it enlarged on two more streets and took the present aspect of Baroque influence. The religious objects collection includes wooden and cloth icons from Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries, portraits of Serbian Orthodox bishops, rare books and silverware, presented in chronological order in six exhibition halls.
