The Technical Department, consisting of some 250 items, includes the following collections: Collection of Typewriters, Collection of Office Equipment and Computers, Collection of Sewing Machines, and Collection of Telecommunications - encompassing somewhat smaller collections of telephones and telephone exchanges, as well as a larger collection of radio sets; Collection of Photographic and Cinematographic Devices, Collection of Household Appliances, and Crafts Collection. The Fire-Department Collection and the Collection of Printing Presses and Equipment have been established only recently.

The Collection of Typewriters encompassing 30 typewriters of American, German, Italian, and Slovenian origin from end 19th to mid 20th c. is considered to be the most complete, since both basic solutions of the imprint mechanism (lever and cylinder or hoop) are presented, with a chronological presentation of development from the standard machine to more sophisticated devices.
