      • Under Soviet rule Sidur was accused of formalism and pacifism and expelled from the Communist Party.
      • The first exhibition of his works opened on 11 September 1987, after the sculptor's death, and seven weeks later was closed by decision of the Party Central Committee.
      • In those seven weeks 15,000 people managed to see it; it reopened in September 1988 and became a museum in 1989.
      • The author's models of monuments installed around the world are kept here: "To the Victims of Violence" in Kassel, "Treblinka" in Berlin, the portrait of Einstein in Princeton.
      • Sidur assembled the cycles "Coffin-Art" and "Iron Prophets" from sewer pipes and car engine parts.
      • The museum's halls are divided into three themes: war, peace and repentance.
