During this difficult period, many inhabitants were subjected to forced slave labour, as can be learnt from sound and visual materials.
The facility also devotes a lot of attention to Professor Franciszek Chrapkiewicz, a world-renowned scientist who attended the local primary and middle school before the war. In his room of remembrance, there are medals, professor's gowns and an arranged study.
Among the museum curiosities, there are also portraits of mayors from the 19th century, the reconstructed interior of a bourgeois house and archaeological finds. It is also worth noting the drawings and prints of Wojciech Weiss, which were created in Strzyżów.
The facility, located in an over a hundred-year-old tenement house, takes care of the Shelter Tunnel, the City Gallery and the Synagogue (now a library) with original polychrome.
