The Ribnica Museum's permanent exhibitions include: Wooden Ware and Pottery presenting the typical cottage industries of the Ribnica region including vessels, spoons, flooring, joinery products, tools, turned articles, wickerwork and toothpicks. The most widely known pottery form is the so called "horse that whistles through its rear".

An archaeological exhibition on the oldest settlement in the Ribnica Valley depicts a remarkable prehistoric hill fort surrounded by three ramparts.
