500 000 items in exposition

A lot of old and ancient items here arranged by nation and by age. A perfect place for history lovers. A lot of national wear is displayed here. So this place will be also interesting for fashion lovers: here you have a chance to see how different nations dressed in different times. This is quite inspiring to see that hundereds years ago some dresses were really cool.

Interesting installations

Some items are arranged into installations where wax figures of people are doing their everyday work like fixing something or sewing in a corner representing the way their houses looked. All items used there are 100% original (except for wax figures of course).
