The museum aims to research, conserve, and disseminate everything related to the city's trade and industry. To achieve this, we work in five areas of interest.

1. Permanent Exhibitions: We have two stable displays, History of Trade and Industry of Salamanca and The Sounds of Yesterday. Agustín de Castro Collection. Both exhibitions require improvements; musealization of pieces, canvases, or complete rooms along their routes.

2. Temporary Exhibitions: At least four exhibitions of this type are held annually. Some notable examples include; "Magic and Gold. An exhibition on traditional and author jewelry in Salamanca and province", "Circumvolar Faces of La Armuña", "Enter. The Video Game Revolution", "Rafael Basulí and commercial decoration in Salamanca (1945-1970)", etc.

3. Didactics: To facilitate the understanding of both permanent exhibitions, adapted educational programs have been developed for each educational stage; Early Childhood, Primary, Secondary, Baccalaureate, and Vocational Training. The theatricalizations of visits are celebrated, where period costumes make users become an active part of the experience.

4. Publications: We publish two notebooks annually on the History of Trade and Industry of Salamanca. These notebooks are usually acquired by a loyal public building the collection. The Proceedings of the Heritage Conferences are held biennially in collaboration with the USAL Heritage Master's program. Finally, catalogues of some exhibitions and monographic topics are also published.

5. Activities: Workshops, conferences, showcooking, neighborhood cinema, fairs, parades, etc. enrich the museum's activities throughout the year.
