Finds that followed the 1979 earthquake added several thousand objects from the same burial grounds, and the present museum building in the heart of the Old Town opened in 2003.

The exhibition space covers more than 400 square metres over four levels. The first three are devoted to archaeology, and the fourth presents the cultural history of the Budva area in more recent times, from the Illyrians, Greeks and Romans to the merchants, craftsmen, seafarers and fishermen of the town.
