A great attraction are the standards of the 2nd Dragoman Regiment of the Czechoslovak Home Army, whose soldiers took part in all the operations mentioned above, and the newly formed 4th Drag Regiment "Antonín Švehla" (as part of the unification in 1920, the drag regiments No. 2 and No. 14 were merged). Another interesting feature is the collection of Hubert's Rides badges and various awards for the cavalry competitions of the 4th Drag Regiment.

The exhibition is chronologically designed from 1918 to 2018, so it is possible to see the development of uniforms and equipment in the above years. Also on display are local finds from the army that have been donated, purchased or indeed found. In short, every lover of military history is sure to find his or her own.
