The LHCb experiment is optimized to make precision measurements in the flavour sector. The large datasets collected between 2010 and 2016 allow to study the properties of heavy hadrons with unprecedented precision. In these proceedings recent results related to three topics are discussed: studies of charmonium production and properties using inclusive b → φφX decays, the observation of charmed pentaquarks and exotic mesons, and the observation of five new excited Ωc baryons.
