The conception of the museum was led by Ihor Ratushnyi, the director of the Hesed Besht Charitable Foundation and the head of the Khmelnytsky Regional Jewish Community. The assembly of the museum's collection commenced in 1999. In September 2010, the museum secured a permanent location, and in September 2012, a permanent exhibition was unveiled.
