The museum is located in a school building in the village of Yusva and began its activities in 1993. Thanks to the "Search" operation, it was possible to collect exhibits from nearby villages, which allowed for the creation of a unique collection of ancient household items. Over the years, the exhibition has been gradually enriched.

The museum possesses materials that would be extremely difficult to find today. Among them are the memories of war veterans, recorded by themselves, letters they sent to the school, and their photographs. The museum continues to be a custodian and collector of the unique culture of the Komi-Permyaks. Currently, the museum's collection numbers about 3000 items and continues to grow.

The museum's collection includes documents, ethnographic materials, decorative and applied arts, and archaeological finds. Based on these collections, stationary exhibitions have been created, such as "The Face of the Village," "The Road to the Temple," "Komi-Permyak National Costume," "Crafts and Industries of the Region," and "Peasant Hut," which tell about the history and culture of the region. The exhibitions are complemented by temporary exhibitions and traveling displays outside the museum.

The exhibition "Komi-Permyak National Costume" is particularly popular, showcasing samples of handwoven canvas, patterned and printed fabrics, as well as national belts with Komi-Permyak ornamentation. The museum actively engages in public work, conducting tours, outreach lectures, educational programs, and final classes for preschoolers and schoolchildren. Annually, the museum serves up to 3000 people through various forms of activities.
