Here you can see an apothecary alembic, which was used to distil petroleum, and a prototype of the world's first paraffin lamp. But the Gorlice Museum also has exhibits related to the Battle of Gorlice that was fought between 2 and 5 May 1915. It was one of the most important battles of World War I, as it led to the breakthrough of the front. As a result, the Austrian and German troops finally pushed the Russian troops to the east and forced them to retreat. In the museum, visitors can see a maquette of the battle with the positions of the warring armies marked out, as well as elements of uniforms, military equipment and armaments (rifles, bayonets, ammunition bags, buttons, belt buckles, mess kits). Souvenirs, made after the battle using fragments of military equipment, are also items of interest. Prominent among these is a monstrance made from Mauser rifle cartridges and artillery shells. In the basement, there is an exhibition introducing the uniforms of the armies fighting in Galicia during the First World War. Among the wax figures, one can see, for example, Emperor Franz Joseph I and General August von Mackensen, commander of the German and Austro-Hungarian armies during the Gorlice-Tarnów offensive in May 1915.
