The gallery introduces visitors to the history of the village of Fintice in three exhibitions dedicated to Jozef Kolarčík-Fintický, an Eastern Slovak ethnographic collector, aristocratic families in Fintice, archeology and life of the people of Fintice. Individual expositions are finished by panels with rich historical data.
