The museum contains an archaelogical, balneological, a coin collection, a historical collection and an art fundus. It also takes care of the Archaelogical park Aquae Iasae and the tradition house from 1801 in the town center, that holds an etnographic collection. The tradition house is a valuable monument of the Croatian tradition architecture and is therefore protected by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia.
One of the most valuable museum exhibits is a far known marble statue of the Roman godess Minerva from the 2nd century B.C. The statue was discovered during archaelogical excavations in 1967. It was found in pieces, covered in dirt and the remains of its own temple. It was found together with the plinth and a namefield that suggests the time of its creation.
RURAL HOUSE
Rural wooden house from 1801. On the slope of the hill between the parish court and the department store, there is this old wooden rural house covered with straw, which is also a valuable monument of Croatian folk architecture. Today, it houses the ethnographic collection of the Homeland Museum. The house was bought in 1963 in a village and erected here by the honorary founder of the Regional Museum of Varaždinske Toplice, mr.ph. Josip Čabrijan.
