The bilingual (Polish and English) exhibition focuses on multimedia and is primarily aimed at a young audience. A large exhibition wall shows the important places in Plock that were once filled with Jewish life: Jewish handicraft and grocer's shops, bathhouses and schools, of which nothing in today's cityscape is reminiscent.
The history of the Jews of Mazovia from the beginnings in the Middle Ages through the heyday of the Enlightenment and the Shoah is presented.
A small part of the museum is dedicated to Janusz Korczak .
