The art gallery has two permanent exhibitions. The first one, called ″European Art of the 16th to 20th Century″ is based on the donation of Ernest Zmeták. This was rearranged in 2016 and a new catalogue was published. The second one presents the works of art of a local Hungarian avantgarde artist and writer, Lajos Kassák.
