The museum, a branch of the national art gallery, has a display of socialist regime of 45 years (1944–89) period of art symbols and other artifacts and archives with statues in the park.
The museum covers an area of 7,500 square metres (81,000 sq ft) in the Sofia suburb known as "Red Star".
It consists of three parts: a park in which 77 statues or sculptures drawn from the communist period, including a statue of Vladimir Lenin, have been erected; an exhibition hall with 60 paintings and 25 easel paintings representations; and a media or video hall in which propaganda films and newsreels related to the communist period are screened.
There is also a souvenir kiosk where communist period memorabilia are sold.

The museum's collection covers the period from 1944 to 1989, from the introduction of communism to Bulgaria to the end of the totalitarian regime.
At the entrance of the museum stands a large "five-pointed star" which had earlier adorned the Party House in Sofia from 1954 to 1984.
The statue park, which is said to be the "most representative part of the museum", features statues, busts, and figures of popular communist leaders and activists, of poets, sculptures of Red army soldiers, agricultural and industrial workers, and so forth.

Within the museum hall there are sculptures of communist leaders Todor Zhivkov, Vladimir Lenin, and Joseph Stalin.
Some of the exhibits with artistic expression are attributed to many well-known sculptors of the communist regime.
Paintings made by artists during the communist regime are also on display, including depictions of the entry of the Soviet Army in 1944, the creation of communist party branches, portraits, and landscapes.
Most of the exhibits on display are of "trials of the partisan and resistance movement during World War II", the creation of the socialistic pattern of society, and people's contented life.
Some of the paintings depict "Herculean-sized laborers".
Many oil paintings extol the presumed theme of "eternal friendship" between Bulgaria and the Soviet Union.
In the museum's  restaurant also there are portraits of Karl Marx, Lenin, Engles and Stalin which are evocative of incongruity.

In 2012, an exhibition on "The Cultural Opening of Bulgaria to the World", which was the creation of Lyudmila daughter of Todor Zhivkov who ruled in 1953, and  which brought into focus "a golden age of socialist culture" was also exhibited at this museum.
