The multimedia exhibition is devoted to the historical and cultural heritage of Kalisz and the region is located in the town hall - in the basement rooms, in the corridor of the third floor before entering the tower and on the floors of the town hall tower, and is topped with a viewing terrace.

The exhibition is very modern and surprisingly shows the history of Kalisz - from the earliest times to today. Visitors will discover many secrets hidden in the town hall cellars and the tower with observation deck.

Her script will guide visitors through the centuries of the history of Kalisz and the region, up to modern times, through unique events, mysteries of the city and its riddles, and will allow meeting characters associated with its history and modernity. By design, the town hall exhibition is not a museum exhibition, there are no museum artifacts. It encourages discovering the secrets of the city and the region, gives an impulse and inspires to broaden knowledge about the city's life, to walk and see its monuments, and visit places and institutions referred to in the historical narrative of the exhibition or those seen from the viewing platform bonds.

Visitors will begin a journey into the past from the rooms in the basement, where we reach into the sources of the history of the Kalisz settlement center. On the third floor in the corridor before entering the tower, they will be in a place dedicated to the historical and cultural heritage of the region - the cities and municipalities forming the Kalisko-Ostrów Agglomeration.
Disabled people who cannot climb the stairs to the tower have the opportunity to participate in the tour, watching and listening to the multimedia content available on the monitors. However, through the cameras mounted on the observation deck, you can admire the panorama of our city on the monitors.

On each floor of the tower, participants will learn about selected and important historical thematic blocks, thanks to which they will follow the development of Kalisz, its defeat and revival, as well as the current life of the city. They will enter the clock level with the town hall timer, and from the observation deck will look down on the panorama of modern Kalisz.

The exhibition can be visited in groups of up to eleven people.
