In 2014, a permanent exhibition was opened by Detoa company as a part of the “War Industrial” project focusing on mapping of war production and forced labour camps within the region.

The exhibition notably includes unique models of tanks that once served as mock-ups for soldier training, boxes of aircraft models used by anti-aircraft artillery crews, a wooden auxiliary aircraft fuel tank and other curiosities, including a 1/2 scale model of the V1 Reichenberg flying bomb.

Since June 2015, the museum in Rychnov u Jablonce nad Nisou has hosted a permanent exhibition dedicated to the AL Reichenau concentration camp and Getewent company. The exhibition offers a snapshot of Getewent, from the standpoint of a company exploiting forced labour, and reflected in the mirror of conditions in the AL Reichenau concentration camp. The main purpose of the exhibition is to preserve the memory of the place and to ingrain the Nazi forced labour past in the local history so that history can fulfil its role and we can learn from it in the future.
