The Costumes group comprises a considerable number of objects (almost 3,800), mainly prints from nineteenth century French and German fashion journals. An interesting feature of this collection are the actor figures in costumes and scenes from theatre productions from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

Another area of iconography is represented by the Armies group (1,300 prints) which provides a broad overview of armour and uniforms from the late 18th and 19th centuries.

The separate Polish and Foreign Albums collection is a large group (a total of 23,000 works) consisting of a set of utility works which mainly date from the 19th century including various iconographic materials.

The DRAWINGS section is a large and extremely important part of the collection (around 25,000 items / 39,000 objects including sketchbook works). It consists of predominantly Polish works created using various drawing techniques, as well as pastels and watercolours. The collection is arranged by artist and features works dating from the 17th century up to the present day, though most are from the 19th century, including the work of such artists as Jan Piotr Norblin, Franciszek Smuglewicz, Aleksander Orłowski, Jan Kamzetzer, Zygmunt Vogel, Michał Stachowicz, Aleksander Orłowski, Józef Brodowski, Piotr Michałowski, Henryk Rodakowski, Artur Grottger, Juliusz Kossak, Stanisław Chlebowski, Henryk Siemiradzki, Stanisław Witkiewicz, Aleksander and Maksymilian Gierymski, Józef Chełmoński, Leon Wyczółkowski, Julian Fałat, Józef Mehoffer, Olga Boznańska, Józef Pankiewicz, Jan Stanisławski, Wojciech Weiss, Jacek Malczewski, Teodor Axentowicz, Witold Wojtkiewicz, Leon Chwistek, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz and Stanisław Noakowski. The section also possesses over 1,100 works by Stanisław Wyspiański which were given to the Wyspiański Museum in the 1980s, as well as a large collection of study drawings by various artists. It also has a small separate collection devoted to contempory fine art.
