In the museum there is a permanent exhibition Nature and Interesting Sites of the Frýdlant Region and History of Nové Město pod Smrkem.

Exposition of fortified clastic.

Operation of an open-air museum of folk architecture.

The museum is housed in an architecturally valuable Art Nouveau villa with partially preserved interiors and offers historical and ethnographic exhibitions, the estate of the writer Karolina Světlá, a unique Gothic cabinet with stencil decoration and, in a separate exhibition, the Romanesque-Gothic premises of the former Johannine commandery.

It is a modern ideal reconstruction of an early medieval noble residence from the 12th and early 13th century. The manor consists of a fortified "nobility" on a hill and an adjacent settlement of craftsmen. Various cultural events and historical fencing battles take place here throughout the year.
