The exhibition "Forever in our hearts" tells about the modern heroes of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The museum premises are partially adapted for the needs of visitors with reduced mobility.

The departments of the Baranivka People's Museum of History and Local Lore are the Baranivka Porcelain Museum and the "Poliska Khata" museum in Polianka.

"Baranivka" porcelain factory was opened in 1802 by the entrepreneur Mykhaylo Mezer, having bought the land for it from the Lyubomyrsky-Valevskyi magnates.

The raw material was clay mined nearby. The dishes made at the factory decorated the palaces of nobles and emperors.

Having changed several owners, the Baranivka porcelain factory continued to operate in Soviet times and remained the country's leading enterprise of this profile until the early 2000s. Currently, the enterprise is not working, but private mini-factories for the production of porcelain are operating in the city.

Since 1952, a museum has been operating at the Baranivka factory, which exhibits samples of products whose age exceeds one hundred years.
