Dlhodobá výstava Pôvab kameninových záhrad predstavuje produkciu kremnickej kameninovej továrne, ktorá pracovala približne jeden a pol storočia (1815 - 1956). Jej výrobky boli vďaka vysokej kvalite tohto typu keramiky, tvorivej invencii a originalite expedované do celého sveta. Kto už dnes vie, či vtedajší úspech neovplyvnila skutočnosť, že vo svete mužov - továrnikov na čele kremnickej kameninovej továrne stála niekoľko krát žena. K najatraktívnejším produktom továrne patria výrobky z obdobia secesie, inštalované na výstave ako záhony kvetov v záhrade. V meštianskom dome je vystavených 800 unikátnych exponátov, ktoré vyšli z dielne kremnickej kameninovej továrne.
