The museum also devotes a room to an exhibition of old photographs that reflects the evolution of the city and its neighborhoods from 1900 to 1950. Another theme illustrated by the museum, local archeology. Indeed the end of coal mining and the creation of new industrial zones to discover the rich archaeological past Harnes with Gallo-Roman and medieval are displayed in three rooms. These collections are complemented with a general historical and regional library (5000 volumes and magazines).
