The scenario of the performance, in 8 language versions, presents the most significant events in the history of the city, its architecture and the layout in the 2nd half of the 15th century. It shows visitors dramatic events of wars between Poland and the Teutonic Knights' Order in the 15th century, and describes the significant role of our city in the conflicts. The lecturer's voice guides visitors around the streets of medieval Toruń, pointing at magnificent churches, the town halls of Old and New Towns, the gates leading to suburban city properties and the Vistula riverbank. The sound effects of movement and town noises let one hear Toruń raftsmen on the river or quarreling hucksters. The performance also includes the information about Nicolaus Copernicus and his family, as well as the places connected with him. The whole of the performance is operated by the computer, and the picture is shown thanks to the modern video-projector. The model has been shown since 1973.
