On display at the Stalowa Wola exhibition were two restored copies of the Mikrus and one copy of the Medusa (a design alternative to this car, which did not go into production).

In addition, on display were original manuals, a catalog of spare parts and other unique documents from the era, in addition to scans of a report on approval tests conducted by the Motor Transport Institute, scans of original technical drawings, printouts of photographs depicting the Mikrus and its users – from private collections. An important element of the exhibition was a documentary film shot especially for the exhibition, recording the recollections of Mikrus constructors and users, as well as the first book publication in Poland devoted entirely to the Mikrus car, its history and features. The opening of the exhibition was accompanied by a meeting with one of the constructors from Mielec, a multimedia presentation: “Mikrus in Art,” and a Mikrus rally, attended by eight cars from all over Poland
