The building that houses the museum is located in the charming historic village of San Lorenzo in Monte and stands near the millenary parish church. Donations, acquisitions and archaeological finds constitute the heritage of the Museum of Medal Art and the City of Buja. The museum is divided into two sections: the first is dedicated to the history of Buja, which houses archaeological finds dating back to different periods that reconstruct the historical route of the city of Buja, while the second is specifically dedicated to the Art of the Medal and intends to represent a tribute to this craft and its specific forms of expression.
The Museum houses several sub-sections, including the section "Masters and Engravers of Buja", interesting and significant works with which the artists of Buja have founded an artistic and cultural heritage that has ensured the identification of Buja as the "City of the Art of the Medal". Another section is the thematic collection "The earthquake in the medal - a homage to Friuli", unique of its kind, dedicated to the earthquake that devastated Friuli in 1976
