Many of the items on display are ceramic artifacts, gobog money, and fragments of building ornaments. The ceramics displayed are mostly in the form of containers such as jugs and piggy banks. Uniquely, the exhibition shows directly how the sculptor makes the statue. The exhibition is open to the public, so each collection item is given a brief description to make it easy for the general public to understand. Apart from that, there are also creative products that can be purchased by visitors, in the form of t-shirts, bracelets, paintings, and figurines made from 3D printers.
