Among the museum pieces, there can be found such exhibits as a shearing paper cutter, tools for punching, a bathtub for paper making or metal as well as timber sorts of typesetting and a type-setter cabinet. Besides, visitors have a chance to see a collection of book bindings, ex libris, and woodcuts by Zygfryd Gardzielski as well as the whole book production cycle. The collection was created on the basis of Ryszrd Uljanski's collections.
