Designed as an educational centre, the exhibition depicts the history of Earth and humankind until the Roman age. The respective eras are introduced and illustrated by numerous exhibits. In addition to fossils, there original artefacts, faithful reproductions and casts of objects ranging from the Ice Age to the Roman period. Ethnographic objects allow for cross-cultural comparison, for example with Papua New Guinea or Tibet. 

Great emphasis is placed on making history come alive. Thus, the prehistory exhibition is perfectly suited for schools. The museum also provides teaching materials about ancient and prehistoric history. A teaching kit about Rome is available for school teachers.

The Sewing-Machine Museum in Chur exhibits 120 selected sewing machines of various makes and countries of origin. These exhibits are taken from a comprehensive collection of some 300 historical machines, which has been built up over several years by museum founder and sewing-machine technician Bernd Pittermann. The items on show include manual sewing machines, electrically-operated machines and machines designed for children. A few industrial machines are also on show, alongside their domestic equivalents. The collection is complemented by a series of historical accessories, photographs and advertising signs.

The museum pays particular attention to the development of the sewing machine from 1871 to 1940, and individual highlights of the collection include a machine made by Loewe of Berlin (Germany). All the machines are in working order, and some of them can be tried out.

The complex of the Catholic Heiligkreuzkirche (Church of the Holy Cross) and the adjoining parish centre occupies a prominent position at the Masanserstrasse/Giacomettistrasse road axis in the Masans district of Chur. It was built in 1966-69 by Walter M. Förderer and is one of the most important exposed concrete religious buildings in Switzerland. Both the nave and the massive tower have a clear, tiered structure that make the building look like a large expressive sculpture. The column-free, gradually opening semi-circular main room is mostly indirectly lit, which makes it seem like a rock cave.
