A miniature exhibition on the history of the Riihimäki City Museum (Riemu Museums) Railway Park and the Railway Engineer's House located there, now Anton's House, has been opened in Anton's House at Öllerinkatu 3. The permanent exhibition can be visited during the opening hours of Riksula, which is located in Anton's House.

The exhibition uses text and images to briefly describe the history of the Railway Engineer's House, one of the oldest buildings in Riihimäki, completed in 1858, and its residents up to the present day. The presentation of the history of the Railway Park provides a good understanding of the history of the buildings in the area, among other things. The exhibition space is enlivened by the grand piano of Reino Virtanen, who worked as a railway doctor.

The exhibition texts were written by Jaana Rantalainen, a public relations worker at the Riihimäki City Museum (Riemu Museums), who is familiar with the history of the house and the area.
