Museum and Art Gallery is properly located on the second floor - although access for people with disabilities through the lift. The staircase sweeps up the floor above, you can not fail to notice the valuable Kenchester Roman mosaic that covers a large area on the wall, although incomplete, it is still very impressive. Various works are also displayed on the walls of the staircase.
Inside, the museum has a good collection of interesting local povijesti.Vremenski is placed around the outer cabinet and shows the important periods of history. Local events and places are represented with some interesting stories about local customs, and there are costumes, swords and a variety of tools and implements.
