Write in visitor's book from RNDr. Zdislav Šíma, CSc:

"Although I personally reviewed the original scenario of this museum, I have been really fascinated by the resulting exhibition. The builders eventually exceeded all expectations and showed an absolutely excellent piece of work within the small space available to them. My honours and praise to them for their work enabled thanks to the generous support by the owner of this house. Bravo!"
