Exhibits of Transcarpathian Plant and Animal Life

There was a display of wax figures, from the Last Supper to Stalin and Hitler. This figure was so realistic I had to check several times to make sure that it was not a live human actor.

There were a lot of exhibits I was not allowed to photograph, such as the collection of old Bibles and Icons, because it was thought that light from the flash would damage them. There were other exhibits though, such as old arms and armor, I also was not allowed to photo, but I don't know how light from a flash would have damaged them.

The most interesting exhibit was a display of regional folk costume. Some of these were well over 100 years old. The exhibit showed the distinctive styles from village to village.

The last room I visited was the wine tasting room, where I sampled a variety of local wines - white, red, and "Troiyanda", a strong liquor made from roses.
