There are exhibited many artifacts testifying to the worship of ancient gods – Diana (protector of Montana town), Apollo, Hygeia and others. Some of the exhibits are related to the different Roman emperors, rulers and other leaders who were ever in the province of Lower Moesia and the region.

Some of the inscriptions attest the local population belief in Diana, considered the goddess and patron of the city, in Apollo and many other deities.
