Between monastery walls and halls are on display numerous collections from the field of agriculture, traffic, forestry, carpentry, hunting, fishing, textile, electrical engineering, and printing. The visitors pay a lot of attention to the collection of Tito’s cars and water-powered devices, like grain mill, tool forging, reconstructed veneer drive plant and a Venetian saw.

Objects and appliances, which are being discovered, carry within themselves many funny, educative and interesting stories and answers on many of questions: What car was driven by my grandparents? How my grandmother baked bread? With what they wove their clothes?
