The museum offers a comprehensive view of the production process from extraction to processing and loading.

In addition to the industrial exhibits, the museum also features a geological section. This section presents the history and variations of granites, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of the geological aspects of the granite industry.
Natural Environment and Educational Trail
The museum grounds are not just about industry and geology. A rich secondary biotope has developed around the quarry, offering a unique natural environment to explore. Visitors can learn about the local geology, flora, and fauna through a one-kilometer educational trail.
