The exhibition includes three distinct parts, illustrating the main and secondary traditional trades, crafts and technical installations, folk art items: pottery, furniture, domestic utensils, folk architecture elements, costumes and interior textiles from the four ethnographic areas of the county (Chioar, Codru, Lăpuş, Maramureş).
