In the former chapter house on the ground floor there are temporary exhibitions. The rooms on the first floor are each dedicated to a different theme, for example, national religion, magic, festivals, housework, heating and lighting and craft work. On display are puppets, various workshops (chandlers, pipe makers, coopers, pewterers) and an unusual collection of old sundials. The upper floor is devoted to agricultural crafts such as cheese making and basket making and to coal mining in Wallonia; in the basement there is a reproduction of a coal mine tunnel around 1900. Traditional puppet shows using old puppets are performed in the adjoining Maison Chamart. A branch of the museum is the Musée du Fer et du Charbon.
