It is an educational exhibition whose best audience is students who already have some historical knowledge.

Photographs several metres high, placed on spatial constructions, give the exhibition the character of a late medieval town, Only objects from the Polish lands are presented here. They include both religious buildings (e.g. Wrocław Cathedral, St Mary's Church in Ziębice, St Nicholas' Church in Brzeg) and secular buildings (e.g. Cracow Academy Colegium Maius, Toruń Granary, Gdańsk Crane).

An important element of the exhibition are examples of the city's fortifications: gates (Żuraw in Gdańsk, Krakowska Gate in Szydłów), towers (Paczków, Olkusz), a Krakow barbican and a fragment of a wall reconstructed from original Gothic bricks. At the centre of the exhibition, as if in the middle of a medieval town, is the market square, with Gothic residential buildings (a house from Stargard Szczeciński, Copernicus House from Toruń) and the magnificent town hall of Wrocław.

The buildings presented are carefully selected examples to demonstrate the general principles of Gothic architecture and to explain basic architectural concepts such as vimperga, buttress, blende and masquerade.

An important addition to the exhibition is the collection of architectural details from Gothic buildings, as well as artefacts and copies of artefacts from the late Middle Ages: weapons (a bombardier, a hook), manuscripts (e.g. a copy of Balthasar Behem's codex) and a copy of Casimir the Great's tomb insignia.
