Despite the fact that Petroșani is a mining town, don't expect to witness the glorification of exploration facilities. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Founded by cartoonist Ion Barbu, one of the most present artists in the community, the museum is actually dedicated to humour and comes with a good ironic twist.
The museum was set up in a former kindergarten, right near where the artist was born.
