Presenting the evolution of the city, it is particularly focused on the social urban planning of the 1920s and 1930s, of which the garden city and the Outdoor School are the most significant examples.[2]

The museum was initially budgeted at a cost of €8.3 million for a total area of approximately 1,300 square meters, including the creation of the 220 square meter extension intended for temporary exhibitions. Its final cost is 10 million euros.[3]
