In 1954, the Historical Society opened the Liechtenstein National Museum on the upper floor of what was then the new building of the Landesbank. In 1972, the museum moved into the renovated former Princely tavern. In the same year, the State established a foundation under public law to be responsible for the National Museum.

In 1991, the National Museum was closed due to severe structural damage. The building was renovated from 1999 to 2003, expanded, and reopened in November 2003 with a permanent exhibition on the cultural and natural history of Liechtenstein as well as two special exhibitions.

The responsibilities of the National Museum include the collection, preservation, documentation, and research of cultural and natural historical objects with relevance to Liechtenstein history and social studies. A further task is to convey knowledge through exhibitions, educational offerings, and counseling services.

Since 1994, the National Museum has operated the historical Biedermann House in Schellenberg as a branch, documenting the old rural culture and lifestyle of Liechtenstein.
