it's a good place to be happy for our nowadays life many methods of torture are presented, still used in the 18th century, only 230 years ago those methods had the aim to save the souls of the convicted people, for even ordinary deeds, in the name of God; actually, the prosecutors of those times despised the God ultimate creation, the man five years before French Revolution, two Romanians, leaders of an important local uprising, were killed using one the methods presented there - Horea and Closca; look at the wheel and try to think what they felt

The museum itself isn't too big, but you can easily spend a whole day in there, just noticing all the carefully placed diorama details. There's seasonal dioramas, working trains and interactive sounds/actions buttons for the visitors to push. The hilarious details make it a superbly thought out miniatures showcase. I won't give out any spoilers, though! We visited on a Saturday morning, luckily it was early enough, so we had the whole display to ourselves. The hostess was very kind, talked to us about the history behind the collection, who Valentin Banciu was and how he managed to amass so many wonderful pieces. We were even given a little treat, the ability to see the display in the dark, truly amazing for visitors of all ages! Entrance fee was about the price of a burger, but you get much more out of it :)
