It preserves the famous aircraft of aviation pioneer Jan Kašpar, with which he had flown his first flight from Pardubice to Velká Chuchle in 1911. Mercedes-Benz W154 (1939), Rudolf Caracciola's car, and Tatra 80 (1935), President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk's car, are the most valuable exhibits in the building.
