As part of the celebration of the International Museum Day, a permanent maritime exhibition of the Kvarner Sails was opened on the second floor in 2011. The aim was to show the history of navigation through exhibited navigation instruments, types of ocean-going and small coastal sailing ships, the development of steam shipping and shipbuilding, and the development of seafaring and shipping in Rijeka and the Croatian Littoral from the beginning of the 17th to the end of the 20th century.
