In 2011 the heating duct to the copper engraving display cabinet was altered. There are many original copper engravings to be seen with imposing views both from outside as well as from inside the baroque castle Zerbst. Several maps as well as copper engravings of the period illustrate just how large was Anhalt in the first half of the 18th century.

The figures to be seen on the former tomb vaults in the castle show the artistically valuable coffins of the former princes of Zerbst. Fragments of a badly damaged sachrophage, on loan from the evangelical parish of Saint Bartholomew Zerbst/Anhalt, are also on display under glass.
