Visitors can see a demonstration of how traditional olive oil soaps are made and learn about the history of the hammam traditions. A historical section of the museum introduces artifacts which were found during onsite excavation and which include remains of clay pipe heads dating from the 17th to 19th century as well as pottery fragments.
