[3] The two-story exhibition space provides an educational overview of the diversity of parasites in the natural world and their life cycles.
The second floor exhibition space has an emphasis on parasites in humans and their effects (including the nematode, the trematode, and the tapeworm).
On display are 300 preserved specimens, including an 8.8 metres (29 ft)-long Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense tapeworm.
[5] The museum has a gift counter on the second floor, where visitors can purchase a museum guidebook, postcards, T-shirts, or mobile-phone straps with actual parasites embedded in acrylic (either Nybelinia surmenicola or Oncomelania nosophora).
[6] The museum is free to visitors and relies on donations because it is private and does not receive government funds.
