The museum hosts 8000 ethnographic artifacts, including textiles, agricultural tools, and everyday items from Istrian villages from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The collection features pottery, carpentry, blacksmithing tools, and traditional handicrafts. The ground floor houses a carpenters' and blacksmiths' workshop, while the second floor holds permanent and periodic exhibitions showcasing Croatian traditional attire and traditional cuisine setups. Future plans involve collecting ethnographic artifacts and exploring modern cultural phenomena. The museum specializes in preserving textile artifacts, particularly Istrian traditional costumes, with a focus on the wedge pattern. Traditional attire includes white cloth and brown cloth trousers, various socks, and footwear like postole.
