The former Esterházy Palace hosts the exhibition where equipment of forestry, carpentry tools and devices used in land-surveying and cartography dating from the 19th–20th centuries can bee seen. The collection includes a number of curiosities: millions of years old pieces of fossilized wood, a map from 1656, documents and huge modeling boards from the end of the 19th century, insectaria from 1870, wooden tools and household equipment from the last century, and models of machines.
    
Besides the permanent exhibition, there are miscellaneous temporary exhibitions in the museum from time to time. The banquet-hall and the patio of the palace is an ideal venue for concerts and other artistic events.
