Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia 5


www.cimec.ro
Un Cicerone contemporan

Secolul trecut a fost cel n care a devenit evident c omenirea se afl ntr-o criz a administrrii informaiilor. Chiar i manualele dedicate
gestionrii informaiilor au devenit prea numeroase pentru a mai putea fi uor reinute. Traversm o perioad de suprasaturare cu informaii.
La ce bun, atunci, o nou carte care s adune, laolalt, date sintetice despre un domeniu anume n acest caz, al muzeelor? Pe de o parte,
rspunsul st ntr-o fireasc dorin de cunoatere exhaustiv i enciclopedic a realitii. Pe de alt parte, informaia are un ciclu de via din
ce n ce mai scurt, ceea ce face ca oamenii s nu mai aib rbdare pentru actualizarea la intervale de timp mai mari de un an. Un ghid al
muzeelor (chiar i din Romnia) de acum trei sau patru decenii nu mai poate fi utilizat cu folos astzi, fiind de interes doar pentru istoricii
muzeelor. Deocamdat, poate i din raiuni practice, ghidurile anuale rmn populare, poate, nu doar din obinuin. Pe de alt parte, va veni,
probabil, vremea cnd informaia din asemenea ghiduri va avea nevoie de actualizri chiar mai dese.
n cazul de fa, Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia reprezint ceva mai mult dect o simpl actualizare a unor date administrate
(i inute la zi) pe o pagin de Internet. Este o carte de referin, pentru oricare profesionist al muzeelor, ca i pentru cei care le sunt, pur i
simplu, apropiai. Ghidul reprezint un moment de analiz a ceea ce au obinut muzeografii romni, la 17 ani de la rsturnarea regimului
comunist. Momentul reprezint, nc, unul care marcheaz nceputul unei noi etape de dezvoltare. Expoziiile permanente nu pot fi schimbate
att de uor. Pentru multe muzee din Romnia, problema nnoirii expoziiilor permanente a fost una legat nu doar de eliberarea de barierele
ideologice, ci i de posibilitatea alegerii unor maniere de expunere mai apropiate de public (cele audiovizuale, n primul rnd), de posibilitatea
utilizrii unor materiale mai performante i de conexarea expoziiilor cu celelalte mijloace de expresie muzeal (prin conferine, lecii etc.).
Cel puin primii ase apte ani, dup 1989, au nsemnat ani de acumulri, de studii, de schimburi de experien, de reaezare a ideilor i,
totodat, de schimb de generaii. Apoi, de prin 1997, structurile organizaionale ale muzeelor au nceput s se schimbe. Corespunztor, acest
lucru a nceput s se vad n activitatea muzeelor i chiar n modul de etalare a expoziiilor temporare i permanente. Acum, la sfritul lui
2006, putem spune c majoritatea muzeelor romneti au atins un grad de maturitate suficient de nalt, nct s ne permit s facem o
evaluare: ncotro s-au dezvoltat muzeele din Romnia, ce modele au urmat, ce direcii i propun.
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia ne ofer o oglind destul de exact a situaiei muzeelor din Romnia. Este o oglind cu dou fee:
pe de o parte, fiecare muzeu este prezentat cu o scurt fi istoric; pe de alt parte, prezentarea expoziiilor curente poate sugera
dezvoltarea viitoare a muzeelor.
Despre primul voleu al oglinzii se cunosc, deja, multe lucruri. Ghidul insist nu doar asupra coleciilor, ci i asupra cldirilor. Multe dintre
ele sunt monumente istorice sau, n orice caz, cldiri cu valoare istoric. Viitorul, n mod firesc, prezint multe incertitudini i, desigur, nu
toate sunt evidente. Muzeele se confrunt cu o dramatic lips de spaiu. Foarte puine sunt cele care au reuit s dobndeasc, dup 1989,
spaii mai potrivite pentru funciunile muzeale. Restituirile de proprieti au dus, deja, n unele cazuri, la evacuarea muzeelor, iar alte situaii
sunt de nregistrat n scurt vreme. Din pcate, autoritile nu au reuit s pregteasc, n toate cazurile, noi spaii de expunere. Patrimoniul
a crescut considerabil, n ultima jumtate de secol, dar suprafeele desfurate ale muzeelor au rmas, cel mai adesea, aceleai. De aici, o
lips acut de spaii, mai ales, pentru depozite, laboratoare i activiti cu publicul. Procesul de reorganizare a expoziiilor permanente se afl
(raportat la scara ntregii ri) n plin desfurare. Paradoxal, muzeele care au reuit s i schimbe expoziiile n primii doi trei ani, dup
1989, se gsesc, acum, n faa aceleiai probleme ca i muzeele care au rmas cu expoziiile nemodificate: este necesar nlocuirea lor; de
data aceasta, nu din motive de uzur moral, ci din cauza expunerii, realizate cu mijloace muzeotehnice foarte modeste i bazate de modaliti
de exprimare expoziionale demodate.
Pe de alt parte, ceva s-a schimbat fundamental n activitatea muzeelor din Romnia, i acest lucru trebuie spus, cu att mai mult cu ct
Ghidul nu are cum s l fac remarcat: muzeele nu au fost niciodat att de aproape de publicul lor, ca acum. Desigur, mai sunt extrem de
multe lucruri de fcut, dar este esenial c managerii muzeelor (mai ales, cei din tnra generaie) au neles c, dac vor s aib succes n
activitatea lor, sunt obligai s se dedice mai mult publicului i acest lucru se va reflecta, mai devreme sau mai trziu, n felul n care sunt
percepute instituiile muzeale i colectivele manageriale ale acestora, att de ctre autoriti i pres (din ce n ce mai important, ca factor
de formare a opiniei publice), ct i de ctre public, n sensul restrns al termenului. Bineneles, n spatele acestei schimbri stau mari
acumulri n direcia schimbrii, adesea, invizibile pentru public: muzeele s-au dotat cu mijloace tehnice moderne (mai ales, n domeniul
tehnologiei informaionale), i-au trimis specialitii la programe de pregtire profesional n ar i n strintate, au angajat personal n
specialiti noi (marketing, web design, relaii cu presa etc.), au legat relaii stabile de colaborare cu muzee din strintate (att din rile
6 Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia
www.cimec.ro
vecine, ct i din Vestul Europei), i-au dezvoltat bazele de date, au mbuntit condiiile de conservare a patrimoniului .a.m.d.. Aderarea
Romniei la Uniunea European va grbi, cu siguran, acest proces de schimbare. Tocmai de aceea, este de dorit ca Ghidul de fa s vad o
nou ediie, la un an dup aderare, nregistrnd schimbrile fa de situaia actual. Din aceast perspectiv, Ciceronele muzeelor romneti
trebuie s rmn la fel de atent la rapidul proces de nnoire muzeal, atrgnd atenia asupra formelor recente de exprimare expoziional
i a celor stabile de comunicare cu publicul, prin activiti educaionale. Cu alte cuvinte, un Cicerone nelinitit de misiunea pe care o are i
de importana cultural deosebit a demersului su.

A Contemporary Cicerone

In the last century it became only clear the fact that humanity is hardly able to manage all information. Even the number of information
management guides baffles our retentive memory. We are overwhelmed by data of all kinds. What is the good of a new comprehensive book
on another domain - in our case, the museum world? On the one hand, the answer rests on a natural desire for knowing reality in an exhaustive,
all-encompassing way. On the other hand, the information is more and more short-lived, entailing a yearlong validity for any given information
by most standards. A guide to the museums (be they even Romanian) dating to three or four decades ago can be of no use now, as it seems
relevant only to museum historians. For the time being, maybe out of practical reasons, the annual guides remain popular, and that might not
come only from routine. On the other hand, updating could become necessary even more often.
In the present case, the Guide to the Museums and Collections in Romania is more than a mere updating of data managed (and updated)
on an Internet page. It is a reference book, for any museum professional, and for those keen on museums. The Guide is a landmark for the
achievements of the Romanian curators, seventeen years after the upheaval that put an end to the communist regime. This landmark is also
symbolic for a new development stage. The permanent exhibitions cannot be changed that easily. For many museums in Romania, the issue of
renewing the permanent exhibitions relates not only to the emancipation from ideological constraints, but also an opportunity to choose
friendlier display designs (first of all, audiovisual ones), a possibility to use more efficient material and to connect the exhibitions to the other
means of presentation (conferences, lectures, etc.). At least for six, seven years after 1989, we gathered information and undertook studies;
we exchanged experience, reconsidered out ideas and let the new generation settle in. Then, since 1997, the organisational structures of the
museums have undergone changes. Those have become apparent in the activity of the museums and even in the display of the temporary and
permanent exhibitions. Currently, at the end of 2006, we can say that most Romanian museums are mature enough to allow an evaluation:
the development pattern the Romanian museums adopted, and followed, and their trends.
The Guide to the Museums and Collections in Romania mirrors the situation of the Romanian museums. We can look both ways: on the one
hand, each museum is presented in a short "historical" file; on the other hand, the presentation of the current exhibitions might suggest the
subsequent development of the museums.
The first image in the "mirror" takes shape in front of our eyes. The Guide emphasises both the collections and the buildings. Most of them
are historic monuments or, at any rate, historic buildings. Naturally, the future has in store many uncertainties, and, surely, not all are
obvious. The museums face dramatic space shortage. After 1989, very few of them succeeded in obtaining adequate premises for museum
activities. The property retrocessions have already led to some of the museums being evacuated, and there is more to come. Unfortunately,
the authorities failed to establish new locations for all the museums. The heritage grew considerably over the last fifty years, but the museum
room stayed the same in most cases. Hence, an acute space shortage, especially for storerooms, laboratories, and public relations. The
permanent exhibition reorganisation process is under way (across the country). Paradoxically, the museums that succeeded to change their
exhibitions during the first two or three years, after 1989, are now facing the same problems as the museums that have their exhibitions
unchanged: it is necessary to replace them; this time, not because they are obsolete, but because the display carried out by very modest
museum technology means, following old fashioned exhibition outlooks.
On the other hand, something has fundamentally changed in the activity of the Romanian museums, and that should be emphasised, so
much more as the Guide cannot reveal it: the museums have never been as close to their public as now. Of course, there are still very many
things to do, but it is crucial for the museum managers (especially the young ones) to understand that, if they want to succeed in their activity,
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia 7
www.cimec.ro
they are obliged to dedicate themselves more to the public - and that will sooner or later reflect in the way the museum institutions and their
managerial staff are perceived, both by the authorities and the press (an important factor for public opinion), and by the public, in the narrow
sense. Of course, this change reflects the steps towards the change, that the public cannot see: the museums are endowed with modern
technical means (especially information technology tools), sent their specialists to training programmes in this country and abroad, employed
personnel for "new" jobs (marketing, web design, press relations, etc.), established stable relations with foreign museums (both from
neighbouring countries and from Western Europe), developed the databases, improved the heritage conservation conditions, a.s.o. Romania's
EU accession will certainly speed up the changing process. That is why the present Guide should have a new edition, a year after the accession,
so that the possible changes should be put down. Considering that, the Cicerone of the Romanian museums should keep up the museum renewal
process, emphasise the recent display patterns, and boost communication with the public by educational activities. In other words, a Cicerone
in "turmoil" due to its mission and to its outstanding cultural importance.

Introducere

Ghidul de fa ofer informaii despre 740 de muzee i colecii de interes public din Romnia, aflate n 410 localiti: muzee, secii muzeale,
muzee n aer liber, case memoriale, colecii steti, muzee bisericeti, expoziii permanente i galerii de art, parcuri arheologice, grdini
zoologice i botanice, peteri amenajate pentru vizitare.
Ghidul este organizat pe regiuni istorice, pe judee i pe localiti, n ordine alfabetic, ncepnd cu Bucureti, capitala rii i oraul cu
cele mai multe muzee (peste 57). Ne-am gndit c n acest fel mbinm cel mai bine perspectiva geografic i sugestia unor trasee turistice i
culturale regionale cu nevoia unei organizri clare, n care cititorul s identifice ct mai uor zona i muzeele care l intereseaz. Cuprinsul
amnunit al ghidului ine loc i de indice geografic.
Fiecare regiune este precedat de o hart care marcheaz localitile n care exist muzee i colecii. Regiunea, la rndul ei, este
identificat pe harta rii ntr-un medalion. Pentru Bucureti dm att imaginea general a planului oraului ct i un detaliu al zonei centrale,
unde se gsesc cele mai multe muzee. Pentru detalii geografice putei consulta harta on-line a Romniei realizat la CIMEC
(http://map.cimec.ro), pe care putei selecta diverse teme de patrimoniu cultural (muzee i colecii, situri arheologice, lcauri de cult etc.),
putei naviga i detalia zona de interes (deocamdat pn la scara 1:100.000 i fr hri de orae). Harta digital este legat direct cu bazele
noastre de date, de unde putei afla informaii la zi despre obiectivele dintr-o localitate sau alta.
Fa de ediia precedent a ghidului, publicat n anul 2000, volumul de fa este mai bogat att cantitativ (740 de instituii repertoriate
fa de 690, cu toate c nu apar cele peste 60 de muzee desfiinate n aceast perioad), ct mai ales calitativ. Cea mai mare parte a
informaiilor a fost actualizat i mbogit, adugndu-se, ca noutate, adresele de contact prin e-mail (peste 200) i adresele siturilor web
ale muzeelor sau ale paginilor web n care acestea sunt prezentate de ctre ali parteneri (peste 230 de adrese). De asemenea, sunt semnalate
muzeele care dein bunuri culturale clasate n Tezaurul patrimoniului cultural naional pn la data finalizrii textului pentru ghid. Pentru
fiecare obiectiv gsii adrese complete, inclusiv adresa de coresponden, numere de telefon i fax, adrese e-mail i de situri web, program de
vizitare, data nfiinrii, subordonare, date despre colecii i exponate deosebite, istoria instituiilor i a cldirilor care le adpostesc. Pentru
echilibrul lucrrii i din cauza restriciilor de spaiu, unele descrieri de colecii au fost reduse, chiar dac n versiunea on-line acestea sunt mai
ample. O alt noutate este traducerea n limba englez a denumirilor i descrierii muzeelor i coleciilor, ceea ce face ghidul accesibil i celor
care nu cunosc limba romn. Din economie de spaiu, nu am mai tradus i adresa sau programul de vizitare, acestea fiind informaii uor de

Datele provin din baza naional de date realizat i ntreinut la CIMEC Institutul de Memorie Cultural ncepnd din anul 1993, cu
sprijinul financiar al Ministerului Culturii i Cultelor. Baza de date, accesibil i ntr-o versiune on-line permanent actualizat (www.cimec.ro),
a pornit de la datele existente la CIMEC i la Ministerul Culturii i Cultelor, fiind actualizat, corectat i mbogit de-al lungul anilor pe baza
rspunsurilor la chestionarele trimise la muzee i la direcii judeene pentru cultur, culte i patrimoniul cultural naional, dar i pe baza
informaiilor culese din reviste i alte publicaii de specialitate, ca i a celor obinute de noi direct prin zeci de telefoane, e-mailuri sau contacte
personale cu cei care lucreaz n aceste instituii. Prin eforturile noastre constante i cu sprijinul colegilor din muzee s-a constituit astfel cea

Introduction

This guide provides information on 740 public museums and collections located in 410 Romanian localities: museums, museum departments,
open air museums, memorial houses, village collections, church museums, permanent exhibitions and art galleries, archaeological parks,
zoological and botanic gardens, and tourist caves. The structure of the guide follows the historical regions, counties, and localities, in
alphabetical order, starting with Bucharest, the capital of this country, and the city with the highest number of museums (57). We thought
that in this way we make the best of the geographical perspective, while suggesting cultural regions and tourist attractions to readers
searching for a clear organised view upon the museums and their locations. The detailed contents of the guide can serve also as a geographical
index.
A map marking the localities with museums and collections precedes each region. In its turn, the region is identified on the map of the
country in a medallion. For Bucharest, we give both the general image of the city plan and a detail of the central area, where most museums
can be found. For geographical details you can look into the on-line digital map of Romania made at CIMEC (http://map.cimec.ro), on which
you can select various cultural heritage themes (museums and collections, archaeological sites, places of worship, etc.), navigate and zoom in
the relevant area (for the time being at the scale 1:100,000, and no city maps). The digital map is directly linked to our databases, where you
can find updated information on the sites in a locality or another.
As compared with the previous edition of the guide, published in 2000, the present volume is richer quantitatively (740 recorded
institutions as compared with 690, without taking into consideration the over 60 museums that ceased to exist during that period), and above
all qualitatively. Most data have been updated and enriched, and completed with the contact e-mail (over 200) and web site addresses of the
museums or of the web pages where other partners present these (over 230 addresses). Meanwhile, we point to the museums that hold
property listed in the National Cultural Heritage Treasure until the date we completed the text of the guide.
Each site is provided with full addresses, including the mail address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and web site addresses, opening
hours, foundation date, subordination, data on special collections and exhibits, the history of the institutions and the buildings sheltering
them. For reasons of fair balance and space saving, we shortened some collection descriptions even if in the on-line version they are kept
longer. Another novelty is the translation into the English language of the names and descriptions of the museums and collections, which makes
the guide accessible also to those who do not know the Romanian language. We did not translate the addresses and opening hours, as foreigners
can easily understand these data in Romanian.
The text comes from the national database carried out and maintained by CIMEC - the Institute for Cultural Memory since 1993, with the
financial support of the Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs. The database, accessible in a permanently updated on-line version
(www.cimec.ro), started from the data available at CIMEC and at the Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs. Over the years, we have
updated, corrected, and enriched the content by considering the answers to the questionnaires we sent to museums and county authorities
for culture, religions, and the national cultural heritage. We also gathered data from reviews and other relevant publications, and directly

Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia 9


www.cimec.ro
contacted institutions and authorities through tens of telephone calls, e-mails or personal contacts with people who work in these institutions.
Thus, due to our constant endeavours, and the kind support of our colleagues, we could build up the most complex updated information source
on the museum institutions in Romania.
That does not mean that the dynamic reality we are living in fails to play tricks on us: in spite of our desire for exhaustive accurate data,
we do not always learn on time about the founding or the dismantling of certain museums, about the change in the addresses or telephone
numbers, about the changes in the opening hours, and others. The guide will provide you with data available to us up to the 1st of September
2006. We apologise to all those who might feel offended for not having been mentioned. We also apologise for the possible accidental
inconsistencies, few as they might be. The on-line database will be updated on a permanent basis, as you are going to send us observations,
corrections, and further data.
Acknowledgements are due to all the museum institutions and colleagues who sent us information and pictures for the national database.
We hope that the guide will prove a useful tool for all those who are keen on testimonies of the past, on beautiful and interesting things,
travel, visit, and trip planning. The large or small museums and collections are waiting for you to discover them.

The museum was founded following the decision of the City Council of Bucharest from
June 1921. C. A. Rosetti's donation from 1929 was the core of the stock. The museum
functioned first in 115 Calea Moilor, then in 117 Calea Victoriei, and the exhibition was
inaugurated in November 1931. Dr. Severeanu was for eight years the manager of the museum.
New departments were opened (numismatics, documents, city planning) and the museum
heritage grew continuously. In March 1941 the museum collection was moved to 151 Calea
Victoriei. In 1944 part of the collection was hidden away to the commune of Rasnic-Dolj,
where a part of them remained until October 1948. The museum moved temporarily to
Soseaua Kiseleff, then on the 10th of December 1956 the museum was located in uu Palace,
and on the 23rd of January 1959 the History Museum of Bucharest City reopened to the public.
uu Palace is a historic monument, dating from 1834, designed by the architects Johann Veit
and Conrad Schwink, who built a Neo-Gothic palace, with four polygonal turrets and a cupola,
on the ruins of an earlier construction. The central hall was finished in 1862 by the artist Karl
Storck and a huge Murano mirror was set in. Upon the death of the first owner, Costache
Grigore uu, the palace remained in the possession of his son, Grigore uu (1819 - 1893). The

comprises pieces from the Paleolithic, Neolithic, the Bronze Age (the Glina II and Tei
cultures), Geto-Dacian ones (from Fundeni, Snagov, Popeti-Novaci, Dealul Piscului). The

great Boyar families, medals, plaques, badges and decorations. The document collection
includes documents, the earliest dating from 1488 - 1582, the Manuc stock (in the Armenian

Prince Vlad epe ordered the construction of the first Princely Court in Bucharest by the
middle of the 15th century. By the middle of the 16th century, Prince Mircea Ciobanul
employed craftsmen to rebuild the princely court on its old foundations. Burned by the Turks
during the battles of 1595, the princely residence was entirely rebuilt by Matei Basarab. Upon
his accession to the throne of Wallachia, Prince Constantine Brncovan built the princely
mansion, named "the Large", masonry rooms for the princely guards, as well as the princely
bath. The main entrance gate was fitted with a watch tower. The elegant palace impressed
many foreigners arrived at the court. Damaged by fire, destroyed by earthquakes, left in ruin
following the Austrian-Russian-Turkish war from 1768 - 1774, this princely residence was no
longer inhabitable. Thus, Alexander Ipsilanti had to build a new princely court in Dealul Spirii
- the New Court, in 1775. After it was built, the buildings of the previous residence, found in
ruin, became known under the name of the Old Court.
Lately the archaeologists had uncovered many evidence on the Old Court. The edifice
bears the seal of the reigns of Grigore Ghica, erban Cantacuzino, and Constantine Brncovan.
Its beautiful portal dates to the time of Prince tefan Cantacuzino. Only fragments remained
from the old painting (Mircea Ciobanul's sons, and, later erban Cantacuzino's sons had
ordered its execution). Currently, the Old House Architectural Complex is under restoration.

Mogooaia Palace). The artist never lived in the building, yet he made some insignificant
changes. The collection, enriched over the years with successive donations, at present
comprises about 300 items. Some sculptures are on display in the small garden in front of the
house. The museum was founded when the artist donated to the state the first 130 sculptures
and 40 etchings, gathered in a 1947 exhibition at Dalles Hall, being the first collection
dedicated entirely to sculpture. On the whole, the exhibition includes original works from all
the stages of the sculptors creation, designs, scale-models, and many busts of some
personalities. Cornel Medrea (1889 1964), an outstanding representative of Romanian art,
was a correspondent member of the Romanian Academy, awarded the titles of "professor
emeritus", and "artist of the people".

The neoclassical building dates from 1869, and it was designed by the architect Fr. Scheller
after the artist's plans. Theodor Aman (1831 - 1891) designed and carried out a large part of
the carved decoration, bas-reliefs, and medallions of the faade, the adornment of the doors,
the carvings of some pieces of furniture (the neo-Gothic wardrobe, the table), and the mural
painting of the two historical scenes on both sides of the entrance hall. The collection
comprises many oil paintings, drawings, watercolours, engravings, sculptures from the
original items donated by Ana Aman (in 1904), as well as prints, etchings, documents, letters,
exhibition catalogues, old weapons, masks, costumes, the painter's tools and violoncello. Next
to representative canvases (great historical compositions, self-portraits, workshop images,
landscapes), the museum has a large collection of aqua forte etchings.

The National History Museum of Romania, a representative Romanian cultural institution,
a repository of the most valuable historical heritage artefacts, opened in 1972. In 1834, the
National Museum of Natural History and Antiquities emerged as part of the Sabba Academy in
Bucharest, due to the donation from the Justice of Peace Mihail Ghica representing his
antiquities collection. Three decades later, Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza gave a decree laying
down the foundation of the Museum. The museum was established in the Post Palace, one of
the most remarkable monuments of architecture in the capital, built in the neoclassical style
by the architect Alexandru Svulescu during the 19th century and restored between 1969 and
1970.
The museum collections have 690,099 artefacts, including archaeological finds - 79,280
artefacts, history items - 191,114, coins - 338.711, rare books - 755 and 80,239 stamps. The
museum collections constantly grow due to donations, acquisitions and new archaeological
finds.
The collection of metal and precious or semiprecious stones collection from the modern
age of the history of Romania often reflects new preferences and tastes, prevailing trends of
western decorative styles and manners. The exhibits reveal above all the historic value, their
direct link to events and outstanding personalities of Romanian political life, including:
personal belongings and authority tokens of Alexandru Ioan Cuza and King Charles I; the
crowns of Queens Elisabeth and Mary; the sceptre worn by King Ferdinand, in October 1922,
when he was crowned as sovereign of Greater Romania; the sceptre of King Charles II; the gold
and platinum jewels with precious and semiprecious stones from the second half of the 19th

century and the first half of the 20th century. In a newly built building body there is the
Lapidarium, comprising, on two levels, Greek, Roman and mediaeval monuments. The first
level is reserved exclusively to the cast copy of Trajans Column, achieved at the scale 1:1
after the original Column in Rome. The cast copies are the work of Vatican craftsmen and was
made between 1939 and 1943, and brought to Bucharest in 1967. The monument depicts the
history of Trajans Dacian wars, waged between 101 - 102 and 105 - 106 AD. There are 2,500
figures on a frieze spanning about 200 m, grouped into 155 scenes. The socle of the Column
sheltered the urn of Emperor Trajan and Empress Plotina. The upper level of this construction
shelters various exhibits: honorific, funerary, juridical and votive monuments, statues as well
as Hellenistic, Roman and mediaeval architectural pieces. The contemporary history
department is under restoration, spanning five halls on the second floor of the museum. The
museum owns goods listed in the National Cultural Heritage Treasure.

The National Museum of Art of Romania has three art galleries and a royal history. The
European Art Gallery, Romanian Old Art Gallery, Romanian Modern Art Gallery sum up works
displayed in an attractive modern manner, and any visit is a pleasant, interesting way to spend
time.
The history borne by the building makes the visit a travel in time, as on the place where
the Kretzulescu wings stands today, the boyar Dinicu Golescu raised, between 1812 and 1820,
a house of impressive size for the contemporaries. During the time of Alexandru Ioan Cuza the
building turned into a princely lodging, and during the time of Charles I, a winter palace. The
king adorned it after his taste and was also involved with developing a painting collection,
today the core of the European Art Gallery. The palace underwent a stage of modifications

www.cimec.ro
during the time of Ferdinand and Charles II, and its changed in 1948, when it was decided to
open here a museum of art and the reception halls of the central body were assigned to the
State Council. During the events of December 1989, eighty per cent of the building was
damaged, and over 1,000 works of art were deteriorated or destroyed. In 1990 the building in
Revolution Square turned into the National Museum of Art of Romania.
The European Art Gallery, sheltered in the Kretzulescu wing, reflects, due to the
distribution of the 300 works, the main art schools of Europe between the 14th and 19th
centuries. From the late Gothic and the Renaissance, continuing with Mannerism and
Caravagism, up to the Baroque and Rococo patterns, Italian painting is represented by works
of the masters Domenico Veneziano, Jacopo Bassano, Bronzino, Jacopo Tintoretto, Luca
Giordano, Orazio Gentileschi, Jacopo Amigoni. The German art collection illustrates the
German version of the international Gothic or the north Renaissance pattern due to
remarkable works by Bartholomus Zeitblom, Lucas Cranach the Elder and Hans von Aachen.
Religious fervour and burning temperament characterize the Spanish paintings by El Greco,
Francisco Zurbarn, Alonso Cano, Antonio Pereda. Realism, the mystery of the light and shade
or the epic picturesque of the scenes can be found in the works of Flemish artists
(Bartholomus Spranger, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Pieter Paul Rubens, David Ryckaert III)
and Dutch artists (Rembrandt Harmensz, Van Rijn, Jan Davidsz, De Heem). The French art
halls are spanned by works from the 16th - 19th centuries. Important artists include: J.B.
Oudry, Nicolas de Largillire, Gaspar Dughet, Joseph Parrocel, next to Claude Monet, Paul
Signac, Alfred Sisley. The sculpture collection includes remarkable creations by Auguste Rodin,
Antoine Bourdelle, Jules Dalou and Camille Claudel.
The Romanian Old Art Gallery includes 900 pieces offering a unitary image upon the
cultural life in the historical provinces: Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania from the 14th -
18th centuries. Remarkable are the fresco fragments (those from Curtea de Arge [Arge
Court] - 1526) and the icons (Wailing the Lord) - the 15th 16th centuries, Saints Simeon and
Sava - 1522 - 1523, both from the monastery of Curtea de Arges, the Virgin with Child
surrounded by prophets - the second half of the 16th century, Pngrai monastery),
embroideries (Epitaphs of Cozia Monastery 1395 -1396 and of Neam Monastery - 1437, the
Air of "St. Nicholas of Rdui" Church about 1493, the Stoles of Tismana Monastery early
16th century), manuscripts (the Four Gospels, achieved in a Byzantine workshop, whose text
dates from the 12th century, the Four Gospels of Gavril Uric - 1436 - 1437, the Four Gospels
of monk Dimitrie Gramaticul - 1512), gold and silver items (the censer from Tismana - 1508 -
1512, the shrine from Hurezi - 1691 -1692, the precious metal vessel with artistic incrustations
from Precista Monastery in Bacu 1491 - 1496, the procession cross from Slatina Monastery
- 1558), wooden and stone sculptures (the imperial doors from the church in Crligul (Bacu)
- early 16th century, the rib with the coats of arms of Moldavia from "Three Hierachs" in Jassy,
1637 - 1638). The gallery includes a Treasure to which three halls are dedicated, where one
can see secular and religious items out of precious metals and stones, jewels and costume
accessories from the 14th - 19th centuries.
The Romanian Modern Art Gallery reconstructs, due to the 700 paintings and sculptures,
the path of Romanian art from early 19th century - illustrated by the departure from the
religious art of Byzantine inspiration - to the age of the great classics of Romanian art. The
two centuries of art, revealed by numerous artistic trends and tendencies, are represented
both by famous names, relevant for the entire Romanian culture, and by less known
outstanding artists included for the first time in the permanent exhibition of the National
Gallery. The tradition of portraits and the formalism of the "painters of thin" are illustrated

in the Gallery by the works of Anton Chladek, Giovanni Schiavoni, Iosef August Schoefft, while
Theodor Aman' and Gheorghe Tattarescu's paintings show how these two artists gave Romanian
painting a new interpretation of academicism and neoclassicism. Outstanding personalities of
national art like Nicolae Grigorescu, Ioan Andreescu, tefan Luchian, Nicolae Tonitza, Theodor
Pallady, Gheorghe Petracu, Constantin Brncui, Dimitrie Paciurea, Corneliu Baba, Alexandru
Ciucurencu, Ion uculescu, many other artists complete the general configuration of the
represented period, including: Iosif Iser, Camil Ressu, Francisc Sirato, tefan Dumitrescu, Ion
Jalea, Jean Al. Steriadi, Nicolae Drscu, Samuel Mtzner, Petre Iorgulescu Yor, Dimitrie
Ghea, Rudolf Schweitzer-Cumpna, Lucian Grigorescu, etc. The constant tendency of
Romanian culture to intertwine with European trends is revealed in the Romanian modern art
exhibition by the vanguard works of Victor Brauner, Marcel Iancu, Hans Mattis-Teutsch, M. H.
Maxy, Arthur Segal.
One of the halls of the gallery is dedicated exclusively to the sculptor Constantin Brncui
and gathers youth and maturity works, such as: Ordeal, Child's Head, Sleep, Prometheus,
Prayer, Danaid, Silence of the Earth.

celebri ca Hiroshige, Utamaro, Kunisada, se poate observa puterea revelatoare a liniei, ca n

The "Vasile Grigore" collection, on the 25th of May 2004 listed as public property, only in
the exhibition room comprises 500 pieces displaying an assembly gradually illustrating almost
all the fields of the fine arts. Following the tradition of the collectors K.H. Zambaccian,
Anastase Simu, Dr. Dona, the selection of works from the Vasile Grigore donation comprises
works of Romanian interwar painting, sculpture and graphics (Theodor Pallady, Gheorghe
Petracu, Iosif Iser, NicolaeTonitza) and contemporary ones (Alexandru Ciucurencu, Comeliu
Baba, Gheorghe Vnatoru, Ion Musceleanu, Lucian Grigorescu, Constantin Blendea, Henry
Catargi, Ion Popescu Negreni, Ion Irimescu, Mihai Buculei, Vladimir Predescu, Traian Bradean,
Jean AI. Steriadi). The masters love for Romanian folk art and his passion of collecting
authentic objects finally developed into a special ethnographic collection, merging various

kinds of art: wooden and glass icons, pottery, religious objects and, last but not least, rugs
completing the ensamble of the hall. The link with world art is discrete and always seen
through the perspective of Romanian art. The selection of Japanese prints, including famous
artists such as Hiroshige, Utamaro, Kunisada, reflects the strong power of lines, like in
Romanian graphics. The porcelain pieces, painted by hand or printed, from Japan or China,
impress by their bright colours and sophistication of the surfaces of the pieces. The Delft
English pottery, the German, Russian or French faience are a few of the types of the
collection. The domestic artefacts also include engraved, hammered, stamped or perforated
metal pieces. Harmoniously coloured, the Oriental prayer carpets suggest a historical reality
in almost all the museum halls. Inlaid, intarsiated or painted, the pieces of furniture reveal
the great craftsmanship and sensitivity of French, Dutch or Japanese cabinet-makers.

to 1875 when, upon Titu Maiorescu's proposal, under the National Antiquities Museum, the
first textile art department emerged, with "things made in the countryside: clothes, carpets,
cloth, etc.", of which the treasure-collections of the museum have preserved several exhibits
to this day. Spiru Haret had the idea of founding such a museum, that was established on the
1st of October 1906 as an autonomous folk art museum: the Museum of Ethnography, National
Art, Decorative and Industrial Art located in the building of the former Treasury. The
outstanding art historian Alexandru Tzigara-Samurca was appointed director. He conferred a
prestigious scientific and cultural status to the institution, and changed its name first to the
Museum of Ethnography and National Art, and in 1912 to the Museum of National Art. In 1931
the folk art exhibition was inaugurated. In 1953 it moved to the tirbei Palace building, in
Calea Victoriei, where it functioned for 25 years, under the name of the Museum of Folk Art
of the Republic, under the leadership of Tancred Bneanu, a remarkable ethnographer. In
1978 it merged with the Village Museum under the name of the Village and Folk Art Museum.
In 1990 the museum, bearing the current name, returned to the former premises at the
highway. The building, listed as a monument of architecture, sheltering the Romanian Peasant
Museum, was built by the architect Nicolae Ghika-Budeti, a brilliant representative of the
Romanian architecture school.
The museum presents costumes, pottery, furniture, wooden and glass icons, xylographs,
religious items, fabrics, carpets, tools, as well as an important collection of foreign folk art,
emerged due to the endeavours of the ethnographer Tancred Bneanu. All the collections
include about 90,000 items. After 1990 six wooden churches from the Arad and Hunedoara
counties were acquired, four of them conserved "in situ", and two, in the museum precinct.
The museum manages also the exhibition opened in the precinct of the stone House from
Hereti. The museum owns goods listed in the National Cultural Heritage Treasure.

The museum was established by academician D. Panaitescu - Perpessicius, who was also its
first manager. It was reorganized in the present building in 1971. Its first location had been
in Toma Stelian House, in 10 Kiseleff Highway. Currently the museum is sheltered in the
Scarlat Kretzulescu House (attested in 1839), a historic monument, built by justice of the
peace Alexandru Villara and offered as dowry to his daughter, Elena, on her marriage to
Scarlat Kretzulescu. After the death of the latter, the house was sold to the banker Franc,
director of Bank of Romania. At the beginning of the 20th century, the building was
nationalized and functioned, by turn, as electricity laboratory of the University of Bucharest,
boarding-school for girls, the library of the German Embassy in Bucharest and, after World
War II, the Romanian - Russian Museum. It is one of the few Bucharest buildings in a neo-
classical style. The house was rebuilt, and recently entirely restored.
The museum has 300,000 items, organized in 250 collections (manuscripts, documents,
letters, original photographs, fine arts, memorials), 200 titles of old Romanian books, 20,000
rare books, 8000 periodicals. Main collections: Rare books - writer libraries; Rare Romanian
books collection; Collections of manuscript of: Mihail Sadoveanu, Lucian Blaga, Tudor Vianu,

volumes, and those of the plays and philosophical works; Mihail Sadoveanu - the manuscripts

cassettes, etc. From the living room we enter Mioara's private room, where we can see an
adequate set of furniture and many works of fine arts: a picture of Claudia Millian's, signed
by Iosif Iser, the author of other works found in the same room. There are also creations by
Margareta Sterian (prevailing in that room), a work by Nsturel and one by Victor Brauner (Ion
Minulescu Portrait - 1924).
Opposite to the latter room, from the same living room, we pass into Claudia Millian's
room, where the icon collection prevails (over 25 items). The same as in Mioara's room, there
are book shelves arranged in functional spaces. The wall above the large dumb waiter is
spanned by a work depicting an Apocalypse verse illustration and the city of Jerusalem (1862).
There is a conspicuous window loaded by small personal belongings, the books of the two
writers, statuettes, identity cards, etc. The works of fine arts bear the signatures of famous
painters: Sorin Ionescu (landscapes), Petre Iorgulescu-Yor, Luky Galaction-Passarelly, Cuescu
- Storck, Iosif Iser and Lucia Demetriade - Blcescu, a well known Ressu depicting Ion
Minulescu with a cigarette and a few pictures signed by Mioara Minulescu. On the small dumb

The memorial house is located in a flat bought by the novelist in the year 1934 for his
daughter, Puia-Florica Rebreanu. She donated the space and the heritage in her desire that

they should represent also her mother who, besides being an actress, approached memorial
literature, which conferred her the status of member of the Writers' Union.
It was inaugurated in 1995. In the entrance hall we can see valuable graphics (in coal,
pencil, nib). In the living-room there are impressive large-sized pictures depicting both the
mother and daughter, works bearing Camil Ressu's signature. Other fine art works can be seen
in the most important room of the house, the novelist's study, achieved by prestigious artists
of the time (Steriadi, Milia Ptracu, I. Jalea, Fr. irato). In the room where the daughter of
the two writers once lived we can see family photographs, a few paintings, and a beautiful
collection of icons that span a wall, giving the impression of a catapetasma. The largest space
of the museum is the dining-room, furnished with an impressive Biedermeyer furniture, in
which the collection of icons continues, where there is also a timepiece with socle, a unique
object. In the kitchen, an impressive collection of ceramics (specific of the Transylvanian
area) covers the walls.

The museum was established on the 10th of July 1991 and opened for visitors in December
1991. It integrates the history of two successive monuments - Cotroceni Monastery and the
Royal Palace. Cotroceni Monastery, built by erban Cantacuzino (1678 - 1688), was demolished
in 1984. Cotroceni Palace was meant to represent the residence of the Crown Prince and
Princess of the Kingdom of Romania, Ferdinand and Mary. Here took place crucial political
events of Romania: the Crown Council (14/17 August 1916) that decided Romania's
participation in World War I; in December 1918 here were received the delegates from
Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia who voiced their willingness to unite with Romania; in
May 1918 here was signed the peace of
Buftea-Bucharest; the Crown Council took
place here in September 1939; Romanian and
foreign personalities were received here.
Cotroceni Palace was built between 1893 and
1895 by French architect Paul Gottreau. The
palace was extended in the 20th century
more times - mostly from 1900 to 1910 and
from 1915 to 1925; in order to meet the
demands of Queen Mary, several interiors
were changed by architect Grigore Cerchez,
who used the Neo-Romanian style. Between

1971 and 1986, the palace underwent a vast restoration, as large spaces were restored
according to witnesses from the beginning of the century, while other interiors were
refurbished following the pattern of the European princely residences from the 19th century.
It all resulted in a variety of styles of the interior decoration. The most representative rooms
are: the Hall of Honour, the Great Reception Salon, the apartment in a German Neo-
Renaissance style, as well as the Henry II, Louis Quinze, Louis Seize, Rococo, Empire,
Biedermeier and Art Nouveau apartments. The exhibits include Brancovan and post-Brancovan
decorative art items in a mediaeval environment: the kitchen, the refectory, cells, the
princely cellars (the 17th century), the church door frame. One can see the princely residence
of Cotroceni comprising original items: furniture belonging to the royal family, interior
textiles, paintings. At the same time, one can see tomb stones of the Cantacuzino family,
ornaments, funerary objects, coins, Smaranda Cantacuzino's costume. The museum also
includes an important book collection.

The museum is organized as a true geology manual open both to specialists and for those
who know less about geology. It is destined to those who take a look into the interesting world
of crystals, coloured or fluorescent minerals, rocks and fossils, wishing they could have a real
understanding of the Earth, its composition, origin and history (the oldest rocks date back to
1,900,000,000 years ago).
The minerals and fossils described for the first time in Romania, the reconstruction of
livestock that populated the Romanian territory in the geological past (reptiles, birds,
hominids) next to real size dinosaurs are a few of the visitor attractions. The museum owns
goods listed in the National Cultural Heritage Treasure.

In the year 2001 the Romanian Government decided to found the National Museum of
Contemporary Art (NMCA) in the wing E4 of the Palace of Parliament, that will be entirely
restored. The museum was established following the merger between the National Office for
Documentation and Art Exhibitions (NODAE) and the Department of Contemporary Art that
belongs to the National Art Museum of Romania, that ceased the activity in the year 2001.
According to Mihai Oroveanu's statement, as the manager of the museum, the NMCA chose "a
new display formula, that is a museum in progress, an institution that does not confine itself
to achieving and managing collections passively and self indulgingly. It is an institution that
puts forward challenging projects, figures out new ways of intermingling, and harmonizing,
while taking part in an action encompassing the contemporary arts, that should involve film,
music, literature and dancing".

The exhibits include 667 maps, engravings, drawings, lithographs, as well as a series of
artefacts specific of the museum themes. The exhibits are presented in the 16 halls in a
sequence that observes the scientific aspect that merges harmoniously with the artistic one,
while seeking to reveal the historical evolution of mapping all over the world, and, above all,
those referring to the geographical space of this country. The remarkable exhibits include
pieces of great value such as maps achieved by the great geographers of the 16th century
after the information provided by the great geographers and historians of antiquity: Strabo,
Ptolemy, Herodotus and others. The great geographers and creators of the Renaissance, a
period when maps were produced on a mathematical basis, include S. Mnster whose
Cosmography dominated, by numerous editions, the mapping production from the second half
of the 16th century. The great geographers G. Mercator and A. Ortelius, the initiators of
scientific mapping, are present by their works next to other outstanding geographers of the
age. The maps created by them that regard the Eastern European region play a central role.
The few exhibits achieved in recent history illustrate, in their turn, certain historical
moments.

The zoological collections of the museum - the most numerous and diverse in Romania - make
possible a thorough documentation of biodiversity on the territory of this country and even
beyond its borders; the geological and paleontological collections reveal the peculiarities of
the evolution of the earth and of the fauna on the present Romanian territory; and the
ethnographic collections emphasize one of the subtlest aspects of biodiversity: socio-cultural
diversity.
The museum is one of the best known institution with complex zoological research,
involved in collaborations with other museums, institutions and universities in America,
Australia and Asia. Trips to Tanzania (1973), Indonesia (1991) and Brasil (1994) were organised.
The museum library comprises over 30,200 books, and 20,000 periodicals. The museum owns
property listed in the National Cultural Heritage Treasure.

Due to his godly life reflected in his cultural life as well, Antim Ivireanul was elected
bishop of Ramnic on the 16th of March 1705. He established also there a printing house, where
in the following three years he issued nine books, including three in Romanian and three in
the Slavonic - Romanian bilingual edition. He wrote "Joy Book" (1706), against Catholics and a
Liturgy Book (1706), the first Romanian editions in Wallachia. According to the provisions in
the will of Metropolitan Teodosie, who had taught believers in Wallachia for 40 years, on the
22nd of February 1708, Bishop Antim was elected metropolitan, in the presence of the
patriarchs of Alexandria and Jerusalem. He printed at Trgovite, in a new printing house, 18
books (11 in Romanian), as he introduced the mother tongue in religious activity, achieving
what had begun during the time of Matei Basarab (the Pattern) and erban Cantacuzino
(biblical texts). He had published several prayer and liturgy books in 1710, 1712, 1713 and
1715 in the Romanian language. However, three others remained without translations.

The idea of organizing a stamps museum is not new. It dates from the last ten-year period
of the 19th century, when there were some private tries of organizing this kind of museum.
The General Department of Telegraph and Postal Services tried hard to establish a Postal
Museum, but this was only achieved around 1891. The new museum was presented to the
public at the General Exhibition of 1906, when the well-known architect Grigore Cerchez,
general manager of the Post at the time, rebuilt an old postal inn on the Exhibition precincts
and presented there various items of postal history and the stamps of the General Department
of Telegraph and Postal Services. However, the museum was short-life. In 1958, on the
occasion of Romanian Postal Mark centenary, the Minister Council emitted a decision of
founding a philately museum, decision that unfortunately was not materialized. It 2004 it was
decided to give the title of museum of national importance to the National Philately Museum.
The year 2004 marks the rebirth of this museum, by the will, determination, decision and
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Bucureti 51
www.cimec.ro
efforts of the friends of philately and of the Post. The inauguration took place on 1st October
2004, during the U.P.U. Congress in Bucharest. The museum is located in a state-owned
building, managed by the National History Museum. The location where the National Philately
Museum carries on its activity is allotted free of charge. This is a neoclassical building,
erected by the design of architect Al. Savulescu. The Central Post Office was located here
until 1970, when refurbishment works started and the National History Museum was moved in
the building.
The National Philately Museum presents part of Romanias Post treasury in the three
exhibition halls filled with philatelic and postal items. George I. Lahovary Hall (named in
honour of the Romanian representative to the Congress for the constitution of the UPU at
Berna in 1874) is entirely dedicated to the Romanian postal stamp. Within a modern system
of display one can admire the renowned first issue of Bull Heads, the stamps of 27 and 54
Parale, and also the beautiful stamps of United Principalities and Cuza issues. Of special
interest are also the sheets of lithographiated classical issues "Charles I with whiskers and
beard", same of which are unique in the world as there are no other known of similar large
format. These sheets are already reference items, mentioned in prestigious philatelic works.
The presentation of Romanian issues is continued until 1962 and between 1990 and 2002. One
can appreciate that most Romanian stamps are unique being presented (until 1956) in
unperforated sheets. Artists drawings are in fact creations, exceptional graphics works,
signed often by great artists, consecrated names of Romanian graphics. On the presentation
cards of the proofs or trial colour, sometimes, mentions leading to changes in the stamp
graphics or colour print are visible, next to signatures and cachets. The imperforated sheets,
printed after the accepted essays, have the hand made mention "good for printing" next to
the signature and cancellation of those entitled to approve the issue (imprimatur). These
sheets, as well philatelic items as period documents, are really useful to the research of the
Romanian postal stamps, offering important and interesting information (original printing
varieties, like those published recently by Mr. Sergiu Gabureac in Filatelia magazine, as
elements regarding the composition of the sheets). The genuine dies used to the printing of
different issues are shown in the glass cases of Lahovary Hall. One can admire the famous
dies of the first issue Bull Head, and also the unissued value, the lithographic stones
(absolutely novel items!) used to the printing of classical lithographic stamps and other
different dies of engraved or typographed stamps, dies for frames or of value figure dies and
so on. Cezar Librecht Hall (first director of the Post of the United Principalities) dedicated
to the history of the Romanian Post, exhibits genuine items, copies and dummies all
illustrating aspects of the Post evolution of more than 100 years. Clothes of the ancient
carters, bugles and postal clothes, a postal desk, postal carriages, trunks for values, different
printings etc.
The evolution of the philately is presented in Dimitrie C. Butculescu Hall, witch has the
name of the first President of the Romanian Philatelic Society. This is the place where
philatelic temporary exhibition are organized. By permanent exhibition the medals got by the
Romanian Post to the international or national philatelic exhibition and also different
publications and philatelic works are exhibited. A special place is dedicated to Filatelia
magazine. The museum owns goods listed in the National Cultural Heritage Treasure.

Program: la cerere, doar pentru studiu in Gyula (Hungary). Never achieving any academic degree, he worked as a flyman for the Arad
State Theatre from 1930. Passionate by cultural history, he collected thousands of pieces
mainly referring to theatre history. At one moment, the administration of the local theatre
disposed four rooms within the theatre for I. Srbus Museum of the Theatre. In 1976, the
same administration turned the four rooms to another destination, so the collector donated
his collection to the museum. In 1986, the collection was moved to the deposit neighbouring
the "Clio" hall. Between 1990 and 2000, the museum organized eight temporary exhibitions
based on the pieces of this collection.

At present the collection is located in a deposit in the building placed on this location. Built
in 1909 as a bureau house, the building houses the Arad Art Museum (since 1984), the County
Library and the museums hall for temporary exhibitions ("Clio" hall). Both, "Clio" hall and the
neighbouring deposit, were radically renovated in 2004. The collection contains over 25.000
pieces, dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries: theatre posters, invitations, catalogues,
books and reviews regarding theatre, music and film, artist and stage photographs, stage props,
musical instruments, painted portraits of local artists and cultural personalities, costumes,
cinematographic devices etc. Among these, one has to especially mention: the Statutes, the
regulations and the programme of the Arad Conservatory (1833 the sixth institution of its kind
in Europe); posters of plays staged at the Arad Old Theatre between 1833 and 1871 (1817 the
oldest theatre on todays territory of Romania); the invitation-poster of the film The
Independence War (1913, by Grigore Brezeanu), screened at the Urania cinema which opened
in 1907 within the Arad Old Theatre; films captured on celluloid in Arad in 1913 (Wedding on
Main street; Napoleons Revenge); the piano on which Franz Liszt played in Arad (1846) and then
donated to the Conservatory (the piano is now exposed in the great entrance hall of the Cultural
Palace).

The archaeological site from the Roman period near the village of Jupa has been the most
thoroughly excavated in Banat and the best known in the archaeological literature. The
overall surface is about 27 hectares. It is known that the ancient locality bore the title of
municipium and belonged to the most important cities in the province of Dacia. Tibiscum lay
close to the capital of the province Colonia Ulpia Traiana Dacica Sarmizegetusa, and its
territory belonged to it. The place where the ancient Tibiscum was raised is known under the
name of "Fortress" or "Over the Walls". This complex of ruins includes a camp, a military vicus
and the civil settlement, that is the city. C. Mannert identified the ancient ruins preserved
close to the locality of Jupa as Tibiscum at the beginning of the 19th century. The first
archaeological excavations began in 1875 due to Ortvay Tivadar, on the right bank of the Timi
River, uncovering the largest part of the civil settlement. Between 1923 and 1924 Professor
G. G. Mateescu, from the University of Cluj, conducted the first systematic excavations at
Tibiscum. From 1977, the archaeological area found on the left bank of the Timi River,
including the camp and a part of the military vicus, was organized in the Tibiscum
Archaeological Reservation. The museum of the site presents archaeological finds from the
Roman period.

Between 1872 and 1896, the History and Archaeology Society of the Bihor county organised
a museum in Oradea and gathered rich collections. In 1896, the museum opened in a place of
its own, and after the World War I, in 1921, the museum reopened. In 1948, it became state
property. Between 1950 - 1970 it functioned under the names of Oradea Regional Museum,
Crisana Regional Museum, and Bihor Museum. In 1971, it was inaugurated in a new location,
the Roman-Catholic Bishopric Palace, under the name of the Cri Land Museum. The palace was
given back to its owner and the museum is going to be reorganised in the premises of a former
military building. At present the museum is closed for the public. The museum has
departments of history, art, ethnography, natural sciences, and subordinated memorial
museums: "Iosif Vulcan" and "Ady Endre", as well as restoration laboratories: painting, metals,
textiles, ceramics, bone, leather, and ethnographic items. The History Department: finds from

The museum was established in the former Mller Caf, where the poet used to come. The
museum opened on the 26th of May 1955. It comprises the works of the writer published
during his life, and after his death. The document collection reveals the interest in the
personality of Ady Endre (1877 1919). The manuscript collection includes Ady Endre
manuscripts and his numerous letters. The museum heritage comprises many literary reviews
edited during the 20th century. It is worth mentioning the entire collection of the review
Hyugat (The West) that was issued between 1909 and 1937 and is considered to be the
most important Hungarian literary review from the last century. Ady Endre was from the
beginning the collaborator and editor of the review until his death (1908 1919). We mention
other reviews, such as: Jovendo (1903), Igaz Szo (1958 1974), Korunk (1957 1974),
Utunk (1965 1960, 1971 1974), Familia (1971 1974). There are also many photographs.

contribution of the poets son, Arany Laszlo, who donated also the original manuscripts, a
part of the library and the furniture in his fathers study. Worth mentioning are also the
restorations from 1899 and 1972. On the ground floor the exhibition includes documents on
the history of the city, including the bilingual work, in Hungarian and Latin, "Diavium Oppidi"

The first attempts at establishing a museum in Constana date from the first half of the
19th century. However, the Romanian Academy and the local authorities took an interest in
ancient vestiges only after the Independence War (1877 - 1878) and the integration of Dobrudja
in the Romanian state. Remus Opreanu, the first Romanian prefect in Dobrudja, and the school
inspector Ion Bnescu gathered vestiges in Constana and from its surroundings and sheltered
them in the building of the Prefecture. The small museum fell apart because of a fire in 1882.
The rescued monuments were sheltered in the "Pavilion" of the public garden. After many
shifts, the National History and Archaeology Museum was completely reorganized in 1977.
The museum building was raised in the early 20th century, with a specific Romanian
architecture for the local administration. The Constana City Hall gave it to the museum in

whole assemblage, successively repaired,
functioned up to the early 7th century. The
mosaic pavement building lies on terrace B.
Only 850 sq.m. of the pavement has been
preserved. Terrace A represents the ancient
dwelling level, while terrace C constitutes
the storehouse floor (11 vaulted ceiling
rooms). On the same storey, close to the
building, there are a series of houses that
used to be workshops. Terrace D represents
the storey with other storehouses for
merchandise. They are situated right
opposite the docks of the ancient port and currently lie under the sea level. The terraces used
to communicate through a staircase with wide high limestone steps.
The museum shelters collections of merchandise from ships, found in the storehouses:
anchors, ingots, weights, amphorae with dyes and resins, lamps, statuettes, goods from sunk
ships, marble veneering, polychrome mosaic, pillar heads. In the former storehouses are
displayed epigraphic monuments discovered in different places in Dobrudja.

The museum is located in the building known in the interwar period under the name of
"The Queen's Nest" or "Royal Pavilion". The building stands on the former entry dam and was
designed and carried out by the engineers of the Constana harbour under the guidance of
Anghel Saligny, between 1909 and 1910. Initially designed as a wooden construction
resembling a ship overstructure, it was rebuilt of brick and reinforced concrete between 1927
and 1928. In 1965, the east side of the building was pulled down in order to make room for
the construction of the dam. The building design was last interfered with between 1983 and
1985. The museum presents the traditions and port activities from the time of the ancient
Tomis to this day.

ca urmare a cantitii uriae de materiale arheologice de importan excepional, aceasta a
devenit o necesitate imperioas. Pentru reorganizarea muzeului, autoritile locale au pus la
dispoziie, n anul 2000, actuala cldire care a fost amenajat. Dup ncheierea lucrrilor, n anul
2005 Ministerul Culturii i Cultelor a avizat funcionarea Muzeului Carsium ca secie a Muzeului de
Istorie Naional i Arheologie Constana. La 1 februarie 2006 muzeul este deschis publicului iar la
20 aprilie este inaugurat de Regele Mihai i Regina Ana. Muzeul ilustreaz, prin cele mai
reprezentative descoperiri de la Hrova i mprejurimi, dezvoltarea civilizaiei materiale i
spirituale din spaiul dunrean, din neolitic pn la nceputul epocii moderne. Sunt expuse piese
cu valoare deosebit, unele prezentate n expoziii internaionale sau naionale, tipice culturilor
neolitice (Hamangia, Gumelnia), culturii epocii metalelor, dezvoltrii civilizaiei romane,
romano-bizantine i medievale la Dunrea de Jos.
The museum was established by early 20th century by Professor Vasile Cotovu. The royal
family attended and signed in the Golden Book. World War I caused the disorganization of the
institution. Vasile Cotovu reorganized it for the second time in 1926 and inaugurated it next to
King Ferdinand and Queen Mary. It was dismantled in the first years after World War II. After
1975, the idea of re-establishing the Hrova Museum was vivid again so much more that in 1983
the researches in the Neolithic tell developed here, with exceptional results. Meanwhile, the
researches in the ancient cemeteries and at the Carsium fortification led to the discovery of a
large amount of archaeological material, some of them unique. In the year 2000 the museum was
organised as a department of the Constana Museum of History and Archaeology and moved to
the current premises, that was set up until 2005. Carsium Museum illustrates the material and
spiritual civilization on the territory of the locality of Hrova, representative for the Danubian
space, for the Neolithic (Hamangia, Gumelnia cultures) the metal age; it illustrates aspects of
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Dobrogea 91

the Getic material culture, the flourishing of the Roman and Roman-Byzantine provincial
civilization at the Lower Danube (1st - 7th centuries); the Dridu culture and the evolution of the
locality during the Middle Ages up to the first part of the 19th century.

Tulcea Museum was established in the year 1950 by the foundation of the Natural Sciences
Museum. Since 1965 it has been the "Danube Delta" Museum with four departments: history and
archaeology, ethnography, natural sciences and art. It is the first and only theme museum in
Romania accepted at that time, under the name of Danube Delta Museum. In time the museum
has grown due to the emergence of other museum units. The most significant achievement is
the 1975 emergence of the History and Archaeology Department in the "Independence
Monument" Park, inside an initial pavilion, later extended due to the construction of the
second edifice. Other important achievements involve the emergence of the Art Museum (1972)
and the Ethnography and Folk Art Museum (1989). The endeavours of the Tulcea Museum
institution towards diversifying the forms of valorisation of the entire cultural heritage in the
end led to a changed organizational structure of the Old Danube Delta Museum and its turning
into an Institute for Eco-Museum Researches. Tulcea Museum was reorganized by the decisions
nos. 118, 119/the 19th of March 1993, as the Institute would conduct its activity in the fields:
ecology, ethnography, art history, history and archaeology. Currently, each museum of the
Institute conducts its own activity trying to rigorously mingle the scientific activity of cultural
heritage research, conservation, restoration, valorisation and enriching with actions pointing
to synergic domains. The new strategy of the institution considers that its cultural product has
to develop in an integration context involving education, tourism, regional development,
international cooperation, aiming at creating diverse effects by multidisciplinary actions.

The Art Museum is hosted by a neoclassical building, raised between 1863 and 1865, as an
administrative palace of Tulcea Sangeac, called at the time Pasha's Mansion, that underwent
changes in time. After Dobrudja reunited with Romania, it became the headquarters of the
Tulcea County Prefecture in 1878. On the ground floor there were the County Court of Justice,
the quarters of the bailiffs and the Jury Court. Between 1950 and 1970, it functioned as the
Tulcea District Council. It became the quarters of the Art Museum on the 23rd of August 1982.
The Tulcea Art Museum takes pride in holding a significant heritage that constantly grew
over the last ten years, from 4,365 by the end of the year 1991, to 7,015 works currently, so
that it owns seven collections, as follows: the modern and contemporary painting collection,
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Dobrogea 95

in the galleries of the permanent exhibition works of great national and international value,
that could engender the envy of the great museums. They are works of modern and
contemporary graphics and painting, including works by artists, such as: Gheorghe Petracu,

outstanding, is a natural part of Romanian art, as it was preceded by works of the great
masters from the end of the 19th century and early 20th century: Theodor Aman, Nicolae
Grigorescu, Ion Andreescu, tefan Luchian, George Demetrescu Mirea, Sava Henia, Nicolae
Vermont, a.s.o.
The museum owns remarkable sculptures by the representative artists of Romanian art:
Ioan Georgescu, Dimitrie Paciurea, Frederic Storck, Ion Jalea, Oscar Han, Milia Ptracu,
Alexandru Clinescu, Constantin Baraschi, Ion Irimescu, Ioana Kassargian, a.s.o.
The most valuable works of this collection is undoubtedly that from the vanguard
collection represented here by: Hans Mattis Teutsch, Max Hermann Maxy, Marcel Iancu,
Corneliu Michilescu, culminating with the 14 works (ten paintings, four graphics) signed by
the well known artist famous all over the world, Victor Brauner. The exhibition ends with the

The museum emerged in 2005 in a new location. It shelters ethnography and folk art
collections from northern Dobrudja. The ethnography collection comprises a movable heritage
presenting the practice of traditional trades and crafts, the lifestyle by the end of the 19th
century and early 20th century up to 1950.
It includes agricultural and animal breeding artefacts; artefacts for the practice of various
trades and for daily life; icons. The folk art collection includes common and decorative fabrics
representative for all the ethic groups; costumes and ornaments.
The ethnographical collection includes about 1,600 artefacts representing the tools used
at practising the traditional trades and crafts. In the field of the processing of animal and
vegetable produce for nourishment, the collection presents tools, devices, instruments,
weapons, artefacts for fishing, bee-keeping, tree growing, vinegrowing, seed processing,
agriculture, flour-milling, animal breeding, and hunting.
The ethnographic heritage comprises a remarkable metal vessel collection (267 pieces).
The collection is diverse due to the metal used (copper, iron, silver, and lead) and owing to
the manufacturing and decoration technique (cutting, boring, hammering, rolling, polishing,
incision, filing, riveting, bending, and casting). The museum holds a carpet collection (155
pieces) of a special documentary and artistic value. The woollen carpets were manufactured
at the weaving loom and they beautified the traditional interior.
The collection comprises carpets of various sizes, from narrow ones to long ones set on the
wall or covering one of the pieces of traditional furniture to large ones rectangular in shape
usually covering a wall (rug or carpet). The collection includes remarkable carpets with
complex compositions made up of bunches of flowers, birds, town life scenes, depicted in a
naturalist manner and arranged as medallions. The colours ranged from discrete ones (green,
ochre, and dark blue) to strong ones (yellow, orange and red). Black (a background colour) and
white (used to emphasize motifs) balance the colour composition.
The presence of the Aromanians in Dobrudja is revealed by their contribution to the

preservation of the traditions reflected in the heritage owned by the museum: 670 pieces
(household and decorative fabrics, costumes). The thick woollen or goat's-hair fabrics of
various colours used to prevail in the Aroman traditional house. The traditional male and
female Aromanian costumes are made up of numerous diverse pieces (peasant woollen skirts,
shirts, long coats a.s.o.). The one hundred ornaments were executed by ancient techniques
(filigree, "au repouss" hammering, engraving, and intarsia).

Ali-Gazi-Pashas mosque (late 18th century) belongs to a recently restored mediaeval
historical assembly hosting Oriental art collections: copper artefacts, clothes, and decorative
fabrics. Panaghia House stands in the close vicinity of Ali-Gazi-Pashas mosque and is built in
the architectural style of the Babadag of yore.
The Oriental art exhibition organised in Panaghia House presents pieces belonging to the
traditional folk art of the Turks and Tartars in Dobrudja, and pieces belonging to the Oriental
art made in manufactures, and later, industrially. The folk art of the Turks and Tartars in
Dobrudja (fabrics, embroideries, costumes, ornaments, domestic copper vessels and ceremony
vessels) reflect its Oriental origins. Certain traits of this art reveal, however, the
intermingling with the art of the local population in the Balkan Peninsula and in Dobrudja.
The typically Oriental ornamental motifs: the carnation, cypress, hyacinth,
pomegranate fruit, etc. completed by the golden and silver thread mingle in colour and
decorative compositions of a special aesthetic value.

The museum is located in the centre of the locality, and presents a synthesis of the
traditional homestead in northern Dobrudja, and the area of Razim Lake, from early 20th
century. The architectural complex comprises the house and some annexes typical of a
homestead in this area: the kitchen and kiln, the stables, the maize barn, the sheds, and the
well. The plan of the house is traditional: the central hall and two rooms. The annexes were
reconstructed and turned into exhibition rooms. One can see: agricultural tools, typical
Dobrudjan painted carts, fishing tools, cooperage tools and products, as well as smithy, bee
keeping and pottery tools, and domestic textile industry. The traditional interior of the house
reveals the richness and beauty of the traditional fabrics. The ornamental compositions,
stylized depictions and suggestive names of the ornamental motifs of the interior decorative
pieces ("little trees", "nut kernel", "girls", "horse and horseman", a.s.o.) emphasize the exquisite
artistic values.

Descoperirea monumentului s-a datorat unor ploi toreniale care, n primvara anului 1971,
au provocat apariia unei poriuni din cupola criptei. Fiind amplasat n pant, ntr-o zon

care s-a desfurat n etape: 1971, 1975, 1985, 1994.
The museum houses a paleo-Christian basilica from the end of the 4th century, situated
above several martyr tombs. It has a projecting semicircular apse, a rectangular naos divided
into three naves by individual pillars, that used to support, in the vertical part of the edifice,
a wooden ridged roof, covered by gutter tiles. It had no narthex, instead it used to have
pilasters fastened at the south ends of the lateral valves, in order to sustain some transversal
archways, and compartmentalized the interior space of the lateral naves, on both sides of the
entrance to the central nave, a wide entrance situated on the apse axis. In the central zone
of the apse, under the altar pavement, there is a monumental martyr crypt, completely
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Dobrogea 101
www.cimec.ro
buried, housing a group of four martyrs at the upper part of the martyrion Zotikos, Attalos,
Camasis and Philippos, and two martyrs on the lower level, that originate in an earlier martyr
tomb. The martyrion at Niculiel is a unique monument in Europe. The protecting edifice
creates an elegant, aired and pleasant interior. The perimetral gallery destined to the inflow
of visitors ensures a permanent visual contact with the monument, and the permanent
exhibition of paleo-Christian artefacts, colour photographs and slides complete the museum
collection.The discovery of the monument is due to torrential rain in the spring of 1971 that
uncovered a part of the crypt cupola. As it is in a sloping position, in an inhabited area, and
at a crossroads, the monument needed to be long studied during the years 1971, 1975, 1985
and 1994.

ICEM Tulcea has managed the Sulina Lighthouse since 2003, when it turned into a museum.
The experts of the Archaeology and History Museum in Tulcea, which governs the museum,
have arranged the two rooms on the ground floor. One of them is dedicated to the memory of
Jean Bart a personality that at the beginning of the 20th century was at Sulina a sea
commissary. The second one is dedicated to the European Danube Commisions - an
international organization that transformed the small fishing settlement from the beginning
of the 19th century into an important harbour with a flourishing economy.
The exhibits of the Sulina Lighthouse Museum belong to the modern and contemporary
history collection of the History and Archaeology Museum that belongs to the Eco-Museum
Research Institute. One can remark the pieces of furniture that belonged to the writer Jean
Bart and his family photographs, the weaponry collection from the 18th - 20th centuries, the
medals, documents, maps and photographs relating to the activity of the European Danube
Commission. As the name indicates, the Sulina museum was organized in a lighthouse, that
was built by the European Danube Commission between 1869 and 1870. The project was
designed by M. Engelhardt, a doctor, a collaborator outside the Technical Office of the
European Danube Commisions. The project was managed by Sir Charles A. Hartley. Over the
years the construction underwent several changes on the outside and inside, which did not
affect the original structure. After 1989 the Sulina Great Lighthouse was restored by the
Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs, and in 2003 was taken over by ICEM Tulcea. The
building has historic value and was listed in 2004 with the indicative TL II mA06023. The
construction is 17.34 m high, in the shape of a truncated cone, has two large rooms on the
ground floor, arranged for the museum, and the exhibition space is 70 sq.m. The rooms built
around the Lighthouse, at number 7, that functioned as homes for the staff and deposits for
the materials necessary for the operation of the lighthouse, are currently used as museum
annexes. At the same time the inner courtyard confers a special atmosphere to the museum.

The manor belonged to the famous politician, descendant of a noble family. The residence
was built between 1885 and 1890 and was for 30 years a meeting place for many Transylvanian
political and cultural figures: Dr. Vasile Lucaciu, Vasile Goldi, Ion Raiu, Teodor Mihali, and
others. Until 1940, his daughter Elena Pop Longin (1860 - 1940), well-known feminist militant,
and her husband Francisc Hossu Longin lived there. In 1948, the manor was nationalised and
the building was the headquarters of the local cooperative farm and grain burn. During 1970
1976, the building was rehabilitated and gradually transformed into a museum. The
exhibition includes original historical and memorial pieces belonging to Gheorghe Pop de
Bseti (1835 - 1919), the President of the Romanian National Party of Transylvania, and of
the Great National Assembly of Alba Iulia from the 1st of December 1918.

The house-museum is situated at the end of Moisei commune towards Bora. Here, on the
14th of October 1944, 29 Romanian peasants and 3 Jews from Mure, Cluj and Maramure
counties were killed by Hungarian retreating troops. They were guilty only for wanting to
reach home where their families were. The victims belonged to the forced labour teams. They
were forced to enter the house and were shot through the windows under the accusation of
being partisans and obstructing the retreat. They were buried after two weeks and later on,
a monument was erected on the place of their burial. The monument of Moisei is the work of
the sculptor Vida Gza (1913 - 1980). It shows a circle of 12 stone figures, two of them with
human faces and ten wearing traditional masks from the area. The exhibition includes

The museum was designed as a specific local village, that
evolved over the time from the "scattered" "spread" type to
the "gathered" type. The houses and homesteads were grouped according to the main subzones
of historical Maramure. Broadly, the museum emerged as a reservation of folk architecture
monuments. The plan of earlier houses comprises two or three rooms, but by the end of the
18th century emerged more evolved houses with several well partitioned rooms. The walls of
the constructions are of wide thick beams ended in the "blockbau" system. The roofs are
gabled. While earlier houses (16th - 17th centuries) lack verandas, in the 18th centuries
almost all had one, made of a sequence of carved decorated pillars forming beautiful
archways of a specific pattern. Many
constructions have not only an architectural
value, but also a documentary one due to
their inscriptions. The gates are exceptional
pieces in Maramure. The gates used to be
social tokens of the owners. The prevailing
pattern on the pillars is the "life tree" as a
symbol of life without death, solar and star
designs, Christian emblems, but also the
snake, cock or anthropomorphic figures, all
of them marking a long lasting deep faith
from immemorial times.

Ellie Wiesel was born in 1928 at Sighetul Marmaiei, and spent his first 15 years in Romania.
Sighetul Marmaiei reminds him of childhood memories, but also tragic memories relating to the
loss of his family during the deportations from Horty's period, when many Jews fell victims of
these events. In 1944, Ellie Wiesel together with the whole family and the other Jews from Sighet
and Maramure, counting over 38,000, were deported by the Horthys and the Nazis in death
camps. The young adolescent would be marked for life by the unimaginable crimes and horrors
that occurred in the Auschwitz, Birkenau and Buchenwald camps. The wellknown novelist,
playwright, essayist and memoirist Ellie Wiesel has always pleaded for peace. Currently, Ellie
Wiesel, a winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, is a titular of the Humanities chair of Boston
University, while 55 universities worldwide awarded him the title of "Doctor Honoris Causa",
including Yale University. His first book of memoirs, "La Nuit", issued in 1958, accounts his
experiences in German concentration camps. From that year onwards, he signed almost 40 books,
all of them inspired by the ordeal of the Jews during World War II. His works reveal his profound
empathy with the condition of the Jews and of other ethnic groups, who suffered persecutions
and humiliations because of their religion, race or national origin.

deschizndu-se i un mic muzeu ntr-o sal de clas. Avnd la baz aceste colecii, s-a format
un muzeu al oraului sub tutela Muzeului din Sighetu Marmaiei care, din pcate, n-a
supravieuit n condiiile crizei comuniste din anii 1985 - 1989. Cldirea s-a degradat i a fost
nstrinat, iar piesele, n marea majoritate, s-au pierdut, ceea ce a mai rmas s-a depozitat
n condiii improprii. Muzeul a fost redeschis n 2001, a fost renovat i reetajat. A urmat
refacerea fondului muzeistic prin restaurarea obiectelor ce au mai rmas din vechiul muzeu,
s-au fcut noi achiziii, s-au primit donaii, astfel la 1 Decembrie 2003 Muzeul de Istorie i
Etnografie Vieu de Sus a fost deschis spre vizitare publicului larg. Secia de istorie este
gzduit ntr-o sal ce conine: obiecte i ilustraii (reproduceri de documente, fotografii),
dispuse n cinci vitrine i pe nou panouri de sticl, s-a nfiat o sintez a istoriei locale.
Secia de etnografie este gzduit n dou sli: n prima, sunt ilustrate, prin poze vechi i
obiecte de lemn, principalele ocupaii ale locuitorilor: agricultura, pstoritul, lucrul la pdure,
prelucrarea cnepii i a lnii, arta popular i ceramica, de asemenea, ntr-o vitrin nchis,
sunt prezentate elementele portului popular ale etniilor ce au convieuit n aceast zon, iar n
sala a doua sunt prezentate elemente ale vieii culturale i religioase a locuitorilor zonei.
The present building of the Museum belonged to a German family. It turned into a museum
in 2003 by adding a new storey to it. On the ground floor there is a 40 sq.m. room dedicated
to the History Department, offices and an exhibition room of 30 sq.m., as well as a storage
room for the objects of the Museum. On the first floor there is a 70 sq.m. room dedicated to
the Ethnography Department, a 20 sq.m. room for cult objects, a 20 sq.m. restoration laboratory, a
10 sq.m. office and a toilet, as well as a 30 sq.m. terrace for bigger objects on display. The beginnings
of the Museum of Vieu de Sus are related to the first collections of ethnographic objects, around the
year 1970, in the local general schools and high school, where a small museum was opened in a
classroom. Starting from this collection, a small museum was opened under the protection of the
Museum of Sighetu Marmaiei which did not survive the harsh communist period of 1985-1989. The
building becomes a relict and it was eventually given and most of the exhibits were lost. After the
revolution the local community succeeded in re-opening the museum in 2001 and the building was
renovated. The next step was completing the collections, restoring the old objects and buying or
receiving new ones as donations. On the 1st December 2003 the Museum of History and Ethnography of
Vieu de Sus was opened for the public. The History Department is hosted by one room where objects
and pictures (reproductions of documents and photographs) are displayed in five show cases and nine
glass panels presenting the local history. The Ethnography Department hosted in two rooms In the first
room the occupations of the local people are illustrated with old pictures and wooden objects: agriculture,
shepherding, work in the woods, processing hemp and wool, popular art and pottery. In a closed show case
are presented elements of popular clothing of different peoples that have lived here.

The manor, built in 1880 1898 by Dumitru Rosetti Tescanu, was from the beginning a good
host for artists and intellectuals. Today a historic monument, the house belonged to Maruca,
the wife of the musician George Enescu, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century
who spent here many summers between 1909 and 1946 working at his compositions. He
composed his opera Oedipus here. In 1947, Maria Rosetti Enescu donated the property,
including the house and 33 ha of apple orchards, park and land to the Romanian state. The
memorial house was restored and opened in 1970, keeping the original furniture, the piano
and other objects. In 1990, Tescani became a cultural centre for various meetings and artistic
events. You can visit the library and the art gallery with works of artists who spent some time

The museum building is a house built in the Moldavian architecturural style, dating from
the second half of the 19th century, a historic monument. The original timber walled building
was demolished in 1965. The present building underwent more changes in time: the plate roof
was replaced by shingle, the concrete pillars were replaced by wooden ones (1967 - 1975). In
1990 it was connected to the thermal plant and in 1993 the electric installation was restored
together with the building itself. In the first two rooms, inhabited by the Iorga family (during
1876 - 1880) a period reconstruction was carried out. The hall provides the opportunity of
organizing a photo-documentary exhibition on a temporary basis. The basic collection is made
up of items of special value: the study comprises the library (the first editions of the
historians work), windows with original exhibits: photographs, letters, manuscripts,
autographed books, memorial objects: desk clock, Viennese ornamental pot (belonging to his
grandfather), family pictures, manuscripts belonging to his mother (Zulnia Iorga). Also the
children's room was reconstructed (on the basis of the memoirs works). In 1967, the
documentary library "Nicolae Iorga" was created. Between 1966 - 1971 the museum heritage
and permanent exhibition emerged. In 1971, was inaugurated the permanent exhibition, on
the occasion of the one hundred anniversary of scholar Nicolae Iorga's birth. In 1977, it
became the department of the Botoani History Museum.
In 1990 the permanent exhibition was reorganized; the inauguration ceremony took place
on the 27th of November 1990 on the commemoration of fifty years since N. Iorga's death
(scientific counsellor and author of an important donation: Ph. D. Andrei Pippidi grandson
of the scholar from his daughter). Since 1993 it has been part of the memorial department
(history of culture) of the Botoani County Museum of History.

The Ipoteti Memorial comprises several museums and cultural landmarks: the Memorial
House that is a monument and was built in 1979, by the architects Virgil Polizu and Constantin
Dumitrescu; the small "Sf. Voievozi" church of the Eminovici family, documented in 1838, the
village church built in 1929 on the initiative and with the contribution of Nicolae Iorga and
Cezar Petrescu; the period peasant homestead (currently an ethnographic museum), in the
Moldavian style, the property of the last owner of the Ipoteti estate, doctor Papadopol; the
"Mihai Eminescu" National Poetry Library and the "Mihai Eminescu" Museum. The last two
objectives mentioned were inaugurated on the 15th of January, and 15th of June 2000, as part
of the vast cultural programme "2000 the Eminescu Year". In 1924 Eminescu's childhood house
was pulled down. In 1940 the first memorial museum was opened in the house rebuilt in 1934,
on the foundations of the poet's home. That house was pulled down too, on the grounds that
it failed to observe the original structure, and in 1979 another house was inaugurated (built
on the foundation of the one demolished in 1924). Until 1991 the Memorial House was
patronized by the Botoani Museum, since 1991 - 1992 it has been under the Culture
Inspectorate of the Botoani county. In 1992, it became the "Mihai Eminescu" National Studies
Centre.
The Ipoteti Memorial owns a rich museum and cultural heritage, including items
belonging to the Eminovici family (furniture, porcelain, crystals, silver teaspoon bearing the
monogram of the poets mother, the brass seal of doctor erban Eminovici - the poet's
brother), and the old artefacts specific of peasant households (on display in the ethnographic
museum). A special heritage is the documentary stock of the library, including 32 Eminescu
manuscripts copies, photographs and autographed letters of the poet, Veronica Micle, Titu
Maiorescu and other cultural personalities of the 19th century, editions of Mihai Eminescus
works from the Maiorescu edition from 1833 to the present day. One can visit also the tombs
of Gheorghe and Raluca Eminovici, the poets parents and those of two of his brothers, Iorgu
and Nicu. Close by there is also the poet's symbolic tomb, built in 1989 by the architect Doru
Bantu. Also at Ipoteti stands the poets bronze bust by Gheorghe Anghel.

magistrate of the Covurlui county. In 1937 the "Prince Cuza Association" emerged, that aimed,
among other things, at restoring the house turning it into a museum. The donation from the
primary school teachers Ecaterina and Paul Paa constituted the core of the planned

building and reorganize it. Since 1995 it has been known as the "Prince Cuza House" Museum,
and on the 20th of May 2004, in a wing of the house opened the permanent coins, medals and

salons, with furniture representing the main styles of the period (for instance: the library
given as a gift by Charles I to Mihail Koglniceanu). The fourth hall is dedicated to scientific
and technical progress from the same period (for instance: a "De Dion-Bouton" company
automobile, French model, built in 1898, equipped with an internal combustion engine).
The exhibits of the upper floor hall are relevant for the activity and personality of Prince
Cuza, his family and collaborators (for instance: decorative art items, clothes and accessories

The museum was opened in 1967 as an Art Museum and then the Romanian Contemporary
Art Museum. In 1990 it turned to the Visual Art Museum. The museum building was built
between 1898 and 1900. Until 1965, it was located in the Palace of the Bishopric and at
present the building was regained by the Bishopric. It underwent several restorations (1977 -
1979, 1983 - 1988, 1996 - 1998), due to the damages from the 1977 earthquake and later due
to the sinking caused by the underground water.
The most important collections include paintings, sculptures, graphics, decorative art
(tapestry, pottery, glassware). A smaller part of the collections of paintings, sculptures and
graphics are a few items from the 19th century (Aman, Rosenthal, Grigorescu), and from the
interwar period ((Victor Brauner, Theodor Pallady, Petracu, Tonitza etc.), as the largest part
of the heritage is made up of Romanian contemporary art achieved between 1967 and 2000
(Horia Bernea, I. Gheorghiu, I. Sliteanu, Marin Gherasim, Ana Lupa, Gheorghe Apostu, Ion

dining-room - used to function as a museum while the poet was alive. The memorial exhibition
occupies only the ground floor of the building, according to the will of the poet's wife,
Ecaterina Codreanu. Codreanu villa, a monument of architecture, was built in Romanian style
in 1934. The exhibition includes manuscripts and first editions of the poet's work, medals,

The building of the museum is a monument of architecture raised around 1850 by Vasile
Pogor and his wife Zoe. The house has a long history related to the intellectual and artistic
life of Jassy. Here was a literary circle, the headquarters of the "Junimea" Literary Society
(since 1863) and "Convorbiri Literare" ("Literary Conversations") magazine (1867 - 1885). The
house was bought in 1901 by Princess Maria Moruzzi who modified the main entry to the
house, and changed the faades by fixing above the balconies her family coat of arms. The
house was inherited by her son, George Brtianu who in 1938, on his departure for Bucharest,
rented it to the Royal Residence in Jassy. It was restored in 1968 with a view to turning it into
a literature museum and repaired again after the 1977 earthquake. The museum presents the
development of Romanian literature, especially that of Moldavia, from 1800 to the present.
The building comprises nine rooms, ground floor and upper floor, and two large halls. It
presents the main literary periods of the past two centuries: the period of the classical
writers Costache Conachi, Vasile Alecsandri, and Alexandru Donici; the "Dacia Literar"
("Literary Dacia") Salon; the writers of the Revolution of 1848 and the Union of 1859; the

others); the literature of the magazines "Contemporanul" ("The Contemporary") and "Viaa
Romneasc" ("Romanian Life") of the Garabet Ibrileanu period; the Table of Shadows
Room, the personalities of Mihail Sadoveanu, Cezar Petrescu, Alexei Mateevici, and Calistrat
Hoga; the interwar period (George Bacovia, Magda Isanos, Eusebiu Camilar), the Nicolae
Labi period. On the ground floor, there is the museum library. The exhibition includes

The Natural History Museum in Jassy was established on the 4th of February 1834, upon
the initiative of a few members of the Society of Physicians and Naturalists in Jassy, headed
by Iacob Cihac, Gheorghe Asachi, Mihail Zotta, Constantin Sturza and Costache Negri. It is the
first museum of this kind founded in the Principalities. In 1840 they bought for the museum
the house of the high official Costachi Sturza, on Hagioaiei Street, today 16 Independence
Avenue. The museum and the Society have conducted their activity in that building ever since.
The building, known also as Roset House, was built by the end of the 18th century in the
neoclassical style, and it is currently one of the few architectonic monuments of Jassy that
includes in its structure a vaulted ground floor. The museum preserves in its collections pieces
donated by early 19th century by Metropolitan Veniamin Costachi (a mammoth bones and
hairy rhinoceros collection that used to hang as counterweight at the well sweep in Rca,
Flticeni district), Prince Mihail Sturza (the Indian elephant Gaba, purchased for the sum of
135 ducats), Iacob Cihac, agha Alecu Bal, Gheorghe Asachi a.s.o. The Natural History Room
became known to the general public also due to the fact that in one of its halls, the National
Party deputies, on the night of the 3rd/15th of January 1859, elected colonel Alexandru Ioan
Cuza as candidate to the reign of Moldavia. The exhibition includes historical objects and
pieces of furniture, the portraits of those who lay the foundation of the museum and of the
Society, of the personalities who conducted their activity in the museum over the years: Iacob
Cihac, Grigore Coblcescu, Anastasie Ftu, Petru Poni, etc. Currently the museum collections
count over 300,000 items. The most valuable include: Insects, Mollusks, Amphibians, Reptiles,
Birds, Minerals and Plants. In 1840, when the museum moved to the current building, the
museum heritage consisted in: 1,500 minerals, 2,844 plants, 3,000 mollusks and insects, 735
vertebrates, and 92 skeletons. The oldest piece in the museum collection is the Indian
elephant, that was purchased in 1835 by Prince Grigore Mihail Sturza and brought to the
palace, and later donated to the museum. In 2000 the museum inventory counted over 350,000
artefacts, including 3,500 heritage items (5,290 on display and the others stored). The
mollusk collection comprises almost all the Lamellibranchiate and Gastropoda in Romanian
fauna. The arachnida (spider) collection is one of the largest in this country; it comprises
specimens from Dobrudja, Moldavia and Bukovina. The largest insect collections are
Orthoptera, Odonates, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Neuroptera. The Coleoptera include over

154 Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Moldova


www.cimec.ro
50,000 specimens and the best represented families are: Staphylinidae, Meloidae,
Cerambicidae and Scarabeidae. The vertebrates collection includes fish, amphibians, reptiles,
birds and mammals, counting over 14,000 specimens, comprising almost all the species
existing in this country and thus making up one of the richest collections in our museums. The
nest and egg collections are remarkable. The palaeontology collection counts over 10,000
specimens, and the mineral one over 2,900 samples.

distrus, odat cu catapeteasma i alte obiecte bisericeti, de incendiul din 1762. n prezent
se mai pstreaz doar cteva fragmente de fresc, unul din cele mai importante fiind tabloul

Prince Petru chiopu of Moldavia built the church of the monastery between 1582 and
1584. The church was built of bricks and cut stone, supported on abutments, consolidated
several times, which helped the construction survive earthquakes and fires. The stone wall
surrounding Galata started to be raised in 1735. The upper part of the bell tower was added
during the time of Michael Sturza. Galata Monastery counts among the few monuments of
mediaeval art that, in spite of the time elapsed and the restorers' intervention, has preserved

most of its authenticity and compositional and stylistic unity. The original painting of the
church has not been preserved, as it was damaged, together with the catapetasma and other
church items, by the 1762 fire. Only a few fragments from a fresco have survived, one of the
most important being a votive picture. The restoration works from the '70s uncovered princely
tombs (Despina and Vlad, two children of Petru chiopul and Maria Amirali - the prince's wife
- deceased in 1588). It is listed as a historic monument.

The "in situ" construction protecting a princely tomb from the 4th - 3rd centuries BC
shelters also local history elements, as well as windows with original archaeological finds
dating to the Cucuteni culture period. Located in the north end of the village of Cucuteni, on
Gosan Hill, in the location of "La pietrrie", the Daco-Getic tumular cemetery dates to the 4th
century BC and has eight tumuli (burial mounds). Three of them were systematically
excavated by archaeologists, the largest of them (mound no. 2, 3.30 m high and 35 m in
diameter) being protected by a special construction raised in 1984, upon the centenary of the
discovery of the Cucuteni culture. The mound shelters a kind of stone precinct, round in
shape, having an access path in the south-east part. Within the precinct we uncovered four
cremation tombs, a main one for which the mound was raised and three secondary ones. The
construction of the edifice (without supporting pillars) sheltering the mound makes it possible
to view the cut tumulus fully.

It is the very house where Vasile Alecsandri lived between 1867 and 1890. In 1885 Vasile
Alecsandri donated to the Romanian Academy the house with all its goods, including the
library and a few manuscripts. The Romanian Academy took possession of them in 1914 and
named a custodian in charge with the entire stock. Until 1944 the house remained in the
custody of the Academy, being opened to the public. During World War II the building
underwent destructions, and needed overhaul repair. The house opened as a museum on the
9th of June 1957. The exhibition was reorganized in 1987, and after the restoration of 1991 -
1993, it reopened on the 19th of September 1993.
The house was built by Vasile Alecsandri in 1867 and is listed as a monument of

It was raised during the time of Peter I Muat. The first documentary mention dates to
1395. During the time of Alexander Lpuneanu (1564 - 1568) the fortress was partially
destroyed. In the year 1691, the fortress was defended by a small group of frontier guards
against the siege of the Polish army headed by John Sobietski.
The works conducted during the time of Stephen the Great strengthened it, due to the
defence ditch flanked by strong bastions, the very high walls, the access paths, which made
it impossible to transport the battle "machine" for destroying the walls, Neam Fortress
became one of the strongest fortresses in Moldavia. In the year 1866 Neam Fortress was listed
as a historic monument. The wall reconsolidation works, conducted between 1968 and 1972,
under the leadership of the well known architect tefan Bal, were designed to conserve and
maintain the monument as it had been, without reconstructing the vanished parts. From lack
of reliable information, they executed only some terraces necessary for a safe visitation of
this historic site.

interrupted. After 1990, new homesteads and technical installations were moved on the
plateau of the city, as 30 monuments folk architecture were reconstructed and put on display.
Designed as a traditional Bukovina village, the open air exhibition will comprise 80
monuments of folk architecture: a church, a school, homesteads, workshops, technical
installations, a public house. Monuments of folk architecture from the whole Bukovina are
reconstructed on six hectares. Vama Church, monument of architecture, dates from 1783. The
building is richly adorned with zoomorphic motifs (horse head) and geometric ones (rosette).
The church is a classical triconch plan, and the original painting is extant only in the area of
the altar. The bell tower was reconstructed next to the church.
Dorna Cndreni House, built by late 18th century, at the time encountered rather
frequently, is nowadays a unique piece from the area. The house is fitted with objects specific
of Dorna area and an inventory including artefacts used by men for forestry and rafting.
Rou House, built by late 19th century, is representative for the Dorna area. The large
building belonged to well off villagers, which is obvious from the two kilns with town like
elements and the wide pavilion at the entrance. The public house of Mo Iordache dates from
1928 - 1930, and functioned as a public house in the village of aru Dornei until after World
War II. On a small water course named "Prul Morii" a mill with hydraulic wheel is
reconstructed. The stone mill from Humor Monastery, dating from late 19th century, used to
be the largest mill in this area. Straja homestead, dating from the middle of the 19th century,
typical of the transition area from mountain to plateau, comprises a dwelling house, stables
and a pantry. Ostra House, dating from the second half of the 18th century, monumental
due to proportions and sizes, has preserved a traditional construction plan widespread in
Bukovina.

The ethnography department includes: the Princely Inn (pavilion) and the Bukovina Village
Museum (open air). The Princely Inn, a historic monument and the oldest mediaeval preserved
in the city of Suceava, built by early 17th century, used to host foreign high officials,
personalities and great merchants. After northern Moldavia was occupied by the Austrian
Empire in 1775, the Princely Inn changed its function into hunting house for the members of
the imperial family. In 1962 it was restored from the level of the cellar to the roof; in the
former kitchen of the inn, on the place of the kiln, another one was raised, inspired by
Moldavian kilns. On the upper floor the oak-tree beams of the ceilings of the two corridors
have been preserved. Due to the period architectural elements that emerged when the walls
were rebuilt, the construction of the Princely Inn was included in the cultural tradition of
Suceava as an old mediaeval inn.
The permanent exhibition on the ground floor of the building reconstructs the period
atmosphere of the inn and comprises the private hall, the kitchen, the pantry of the inn, the
room of the public house, the living room and the cellar. The interaction between the
reconstruction of the interiors specific of the inn and the presence of the folk artefacts lead
to the upper floor of the building, where the exhibition includes folk art items of all kinds
from the main ethnographic areas of the county of Humor, Dorna, Cmpulung Moldovenesc and
Rdui. The museum includes in its heritage folk art items (13,000 artefacts) gathered in
costume collections, pottery, fabrics, ornaments, wooden, bone, metal artefacts, musical
instruments, wedding and New Year customs paraphernalia, traditional furniture, brandings.

The museum complex comprises the Memorial House and the Memorial Museum. The
Memorial House is sheltered in the only building that survived over time - the former summer
kitchen and office of the priest and writer Iraclie Porumbescu, Ciprians father. The main
house (the parish) burned during World War I. The construction, dating from the 19th century,
underwent several refurbishments, but the original form remained. It comprises two rooms
and an entrance hall. The exhibition reconstructs the home daily life of the Porumbescu
family and includes furniture, photographs, Mrioara Porumbescus piano, scores, and family
documents. The Memorial Museum was established in 1928 by Professor Leca Morariu and
Mrioara Porumbescu, the composers sister. First it functioned at Cernui, from 1932 at
Suceava, and from 1971 at Supca. It is sheltered in a 300 years old building that belonged to
the boyar of the village, Dimitrie Costin. It was nationalised after World War II. It has six
exhibition halls, two halls that shelter the ethnography storehouse and eight spare halls.
Formerly it functioned as a gymnasium with a boarding-school. It was partially restored in the
80s.
The exhibition comprises furniture, musical instruments, photographs, photocopies and
scores. They illustrate the life and activity of the Romanian musician Ciprian Porumbescu
(1853 - 1883), the activity of priest Iraclie Porumbescu, and the history of the Porumbescu
museum.

focus of the exhibition lay on Bukovina folk technology. The building, dating from 1860,
currently with multiple destinations, is a monument of architecture.

The permanent natural sciences exhibition functions in the building dating from the end of
the 19th century, that belonged to the magistrate Constantin Tatovici family, at first used as a
home. The building is in the eclectic style of the 19th century constructions built in Focani,
that have preserved and maintained the Romanian town specificity, mingling styles and patterns
pertaining to the local trends characteristic of that period. Established as a museum of the
Hunting Association local branch, based on the collection of Professor Anghel Bardan, in 1951
that collection became an independent museum, owning a heritage of 334 pieces presenting
hunting themes. After various reorganizations, in 1968 a modern museum reopened. Local
representative ecosystems, with characteristic flora and fauna, were presented according to
new ecological dioramatic principles. The earthquake from March 1977 damaged the buildings,
the exhibits and a part of the heritage. In 1979, the museum became a department of Vrancea
Museum Complex and moved in the present building. In 1989, an aquarium emerged in the semi-
basement, presenting the exotic and local live water fauna and flora in the sixteen glass
aquariums and nine large basins. In the same space the exhibition "Water Living Creatures" is
organized. On the ground floor of the building one can visit the exhibition "Wonderful World of
Birds", as the museum holds one of the largest bird collections in this country. Also on the ground
floor there is the exhibition "Hunting and Hunting Trophies" displaying medal winning hunting
trophies, as well as naturalized pieces (large and small mammals). Temporary exhibitions are
held in an adjoining hall. There are 53,000 pieces in the museum heritage. The insect collection
counts almost 36,000 specimens, the ornithology one comprises 1,190 naturalized birds, 532
bulges, and 64 nests with 417 eggs. The museum also holds 102 mammals, and about 3,800

fragments sent by the USSR Academy of Sciences and collected at Sikhote-Alinsky in 1947. The
botanic collection holds also a herbarium with Gramineae from Hungary, dating from 1900, that
has been well preserved. The museum research focused on the natural reservations and

Romanian writers were hosted in this house. Here met the three friends: Caragiale,
Delavrancea and Vlahu. The memorial house was arranged and inaugurated in 1958, on the
occasion of the one hundred year anniversary from the writer's birth. In several rooms, on the

battle of Mrti (July 1917). At the entrance to the village, a gate resembling a triumph arch
reads "Historic Field of Mreti". To glorify the heroism of the Romanian soldiers, a
mausoleum was raised on the initiative of the officers and generals of the 2nd Romanian Army,
who lay the foundation of the " Mreti Society". The mausoleum was raised at the height
536, where they waged the battles. The building was designed by the architect Pandele
erbnescu and decorated with bas-reliefs by the sculptor A. Bordenache. The pavement
shelters the sarcophagi with the remains of generals Alexandru Averescu, Arthur Vitoianu,
Alexandru Mrgineanu and Nicolae Arghirescu. In the pavement there is a small museum
presenting objects that belonged to general Vitoianu and weapons from World War I. On the
facade of the monument 15 white marble plaques were laid reading the names of the
regiments and soldiers who took part in the battles waged on these places.

The constructor De Nicolo raised the monument between 1928 and 1935 after the design
by architect Dumitru Ionescu Berechet. The imposing mausoleum, made mainly out of
limestone of Albeti, comprises two bodies: the first horizontal one shelters the ossuary, on
whose walls lie marble plaques reading the names of the military fallen on duty; the second
vertical one is shaped like a tower with a pavilion reached through a spiralling staircase. In
the '80s it underwent a vast restoration and modernisation process, and turned into an
original monumental complex. Close to the mausoleum a museum was built, presenting
testimonies from the battles waged in the area, in the autumn of 1916.

Situated in the south part of Piatra-Craiului Massif, the Rucr Dmbovicioara area is
characterized by a varied spectacular carstic relief. This cave, over 250 m long, looks like a
slightly branched gallery, with a slightly upward track; it can be crossed easily, as its ceiling
is higher than mans stature (about two meters). The interior offers excellent conditions for
visitation. The fauna characteristic of such carstic forms proves to be scarce, as until now no
cave species were found. Instead, the fossil remains of the cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) were
found. Locals had known it before 1579, the year when Dmbovicioara was documented,
during the time of Mihnea Turcitul. Later, in 1767, J. Fridvalsky cites it in the scientific work
Mineralogia magni Principatus Transilvaniae, as it constitutes the first carstic form of this

The museum has four departments: the Golescu family memorial house, set up in 1943,
the pedagogical department (1962), the history department (1959) - reorganized in 1982, the
ethnographic department of the Arge county (1963) - reorganized in 1991, and the open air
museum of fruit growing and vinegrowing (1966). The Golescu Mansion, built in 1640, is a
historic monument and it was restored between 1942 and 1943. In the Golescu Mansion there
are on display memorial items: period furniture, personal belongings of the Golescu family,
manuscripts; folk art: interiors, costumes, pottery. The open air department comprises folk
architecture and technology, vinegrowing facilities.
The museum of fruit growing and vinegrowing comprises three complementary sectors.
The most important sector is that of peasant households brought from the main vinegrowing
and fruit growing zones of the country, grouped under the form of a Romanian village figuring
the country contour, and the chain of the national historical provinces. Each vinegrowing and
fruit growing household incorporates both the home, and all the adjoining constructions and
the specific tools. The second sector is made up of the facilities and tools characteristic of
the main trades outside the households, such as: the pubs, the hill mansions etc.
The third sector will be organized in a specially built pavilion, illustrating the history of
the fruit growing and vinegrowing in Romania, from ancient times up to the present day, on
the basis of the archaeological, numismatic, epigraphic, and historical documents evidence.
Until now have been arranged 25 vinegrowing and fruit growing complexes, each comprising
between three and seven adjoining constructions, as well as 14 constructions pertaining to the
facility sector outside the households, that together with the houses and the other
constructions are over 140 objectives. Most constructions pertaining to the open air museum
of fruit growing and vinegrowing date from the 18th and the 19th centuries.

The museum of Brila was established in 1881 by a decree of King Charles I. It functioned
in the former Ceaparu Inn, and since 1959 has been located in the present premises. In 1968
the permanent exhibition of the museum was structured into two departments: history and
art. It underwent reorganization in 1985 so that it should illustrate the history of the county
on a national level. The museum occupies a building representing an architectonic monument,
built in 1870, that over the time had various destinations (hotel restaurant, other public
utilities). The building was badly damaged by the earthquake from May 1990 and was
restored.
The archaeology department presents its collections by sites, which offers two
advantages: on the one hand, the visitor can look at all the vestiges of a community and can
develop a full image upon its occupations and lifestyle; on the other hand, the evolutional
process becomes more and more obvious, as one can notice the changes in all fields, from
artefacts to spiritual life. One can remark the sites of Brilia, Licoteanca, Grditea,
nsurei, Silitea, where the multi-millenary historical evolution can be looked into. One can
admire the vessels and figure depictions from the Neolithic, adornment and rank pieces from
the Bronze Age, the inventory of the grave from Gvani, the workshop of a jeweller from
Grditea, Roman glass vessels.
The structure of the history department collections runs as follows: Romanian and foreign
rare books; Romanian and foreign manuscripts and documents; Romanian and foreign
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Muntenia 205

numismatic items (seal rings, seal matrices, coins and banknotes, medals and booklets);
Romanian and foreign decorations (orders and medals); military history items (uniforms, side
and fire weapons); metrology items; clocks; sound recording and rendering devices; period
photographs and glass negatives. Besides the archaeology and history departments, the
museum has art departments (House of Collections), ethnography folk art, natural sciences
and memorials departments. The museum owns goods listed in the National Cultural Heritage
Treasure.

The building wing housing the permanent exhibition was rebuilt in 1971 according to the
design and plan of the construction raised on the same location during the last quarter of the

and grew. In 1977 the Museum of Brila opened the "D.P. Perpessicius" Memorial House. In
1994, when the new building wing, in its turn, was rebuilt according to the original plans, the

Archimandrite Dometie Manolache (1937 - 1975) was, according to Father Dumitru
Stniloae, "a faith hero, a great godly soul". He graduated brilliantly from the Buzu
Theological Seminar in 1945, and in 1949 he became a theology graduate. In 1975, he obtained
the title of doctor, a month before his death. He boosted monastery life in Transylvania, as
there religion was not flourishing like in Muntenia and Moldova. Father Diometie's life is
closely linked to the Rme Monastery community (in 1959 he was appointed confessor-priest).
He was a remarkable theologian, confessor priest, endowed with excellent household
abilities. The museum was established by the brothers of Father Dometie in 2001. The
building was Father Dometie's native home. It should be mentioned that only two rooms host
the collections, as the exhibition space is about 25 sq.m. The exhibits include family
photographs of the Father's, diploma copies, books on his life, a priestly garb, icons, and
craftsman's items.

In 1891 Basil Iorgulescu demanded from the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Public
Education the permission to build in Buzu a collection of archaeological and historical pieces,
that had been gathered by him during more than 10 years of searches in the county.
Consequently, in 1895 the first public collection of archaeological, anthropological and
historical pieces emerged in Buzu, exhibited in one of the halls of the "Bogdan Petriceicu
Hasdeu" High School. We may consider that moment as the birth date of the first museum of
Buzu. The first permanent museum exhibition (located in 145 Unirii Street) dates from 1955,
when the heritage was made up of pieces taken over by the school collections and the
materials coming from the archaeological excavations at Srata Monteoru and Aldeni. In
February 1968, the town museum became a county museum. From 1971 new themes were
elaborated, based especially on the archaeology and history museum heritage.
Simultaneously, the first museum storerooms were organized, according to scientific criteria.
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Muntenia 209
www.cimec.ro
In 1980 the exhibition moved to the current location, and was inaugurated on the 7th of July
1981. It underwent transformations and refurbishment in 1986, 1990 and during the recent
years. In 1980 the "Brdu Covaliu" painting department and the decorative art department
opened, which comprise valuable pieces of tapestry, sculpture and glassware. The archaeology
and history departments hold valuable pieces belonging to the Stoicani-Aldeni culture, the
Monteoru culture, the Crlomneti Geto-Dacian fine arts, the cast of the treasure of
Pietroasele "Hen with Golden Chicken" pieces from the Roman-Byzantine Age, the Sntana
de Mure, Ipoteti-Cndeti and Dridu cultures. There are cave vestiges from the Buzu
Mountains, archaeological inventories from the excavations carried out at the mediaeval
fortresses (Vintil Vod, Berca, Bradu), and mediaeval architectonic elements. The
numismatic collection comprises over ten gold, silver and common metal hoards. The great
moments of modern and contemporary history when the Buzu area was involved are
illustrated by representative pieces (furniture, documents and personal belongings of Nicolae
Leonard, Vladimir Maximilian, and Alexandru Marghiloman).

The building of the museum was reconstructed between 1971 and 1974, on the ruins of an
earlier manor documented in 1794.
The themes of the permanent exhibition illustrate the fundamental trades (agriculture
and animal breeding), the secondary ones (viticulture, sericulture, fishing, hunting) and the
domestic occupations (food preparing, textiles processing, and clothing manufacturing), as
well as the traditional folk craftsmanship (pottery art, wood processing, stone cutting). The
exhibition includes a room where the interior of a "big house" ("the clean house") is
reconstructed (from the Bisoca area) and two halls displaying folk costumes, both structurally
(cuts, ornaments, according to categories) and the male and female costumes specific of the
Buzu ethnographic area.

The National Museum of the Romanian Police is located in a building of great artistic and
historic value, restored in the neo-classical style between 1867 and 1893. The house was built
much earlier, in 1701, upon the initiative of Prince Constantine Brancovan, on the place of
another older one, that belonged to Grama Stolnicul. It would be called "Princes' House",
which means of the sovereign's sons, and stood "from Saint Friday Church downwards", as
mentioned in a document from 1630. The building - a significant historic monument - required
consolidations and restorations. The halls of the museum shelter and preserve rich heraldic
collections, uniforms and equipment, documents and items illustrating the one and a half
century old history of the Romanian Police and Gendarmerie.

The collection of the artist Vasile Blendea is sheltered in Angela Georgescu house, an old
dwelling, a monument of Romanian architecture from the end of the 18th century, that was
restored in 2000. The collection includes a small part of the works of sculpture and
monumental sculpture, painting and drawing, that define the artist's personality so closely
related to the Basarab fortress. He succeeded, by using the artistic means available to him,
also to carve many heroes of the national history and culture: Nicolae Blcescu, Matei
Basarab, Aurel Vlaicu, Ion Neculce, I. Al. Brtescu - Voinesti, Vlad Tepe, Master Manole,
Nicolae Iorga.
As a painter, Vasile Blendea reveals an intense sensitivity and artistic refinement, his love
for nature turning into his true ideal. His works include: "The Bell Tower of the Princely Court"
(1933 and 1937), "Trgovite under Snow" (1937), "Dr. Marinoiu Street" (1946), "St. Johnny
Church" (1945), "Entranceway to the Princely Court" (1949), but also still life, such as: "Crabs"
(1947), "Apples and Vessels" (1953), or characters belonging to the "underground water world",
a wood cutter, carters stiff with cold, a beggar, an orphan, petroleum sellers from Perinari,
a lute player and many other humble characters who are depicted obsessively also in Vasile
Blendea's graphics: "Ion with Basket", "At the Mill" - 1947, "Papa Bratu" - 1961 etc.

Legally it was established in 1934, but it lacked a place of its own. The materials gathered
were sheltered in a room of the "Ion Maiorescu" High School, due to the goodwill of its director,
Savin Popescu. In the '50s a group of enthusiasts, founded the County Museum of Giurgiu,
starting from the excavations of Professor Dumitru Berciu. The museum first had a natural
sciences collection, and later archaeology and art ones. After 1968, following the administrative
reorganization, it turned into a county museum for the county of Ilfov. After 1990, it resumed
the old name, as an independent county museum. The building is a historic monument, the
former premises of the Vlaca Prefecture. The first body dates from the 19th century (1777 -
1778); in 1903 it was enlarged and modernized. It conserves and exhibits pieces of history;
archaeology: lithic pieces from the Palaeolithic, pottery and idols from the Neolithic, the
Bronze Age and the Iron Age, tools, pottery, ornaments, coins, weapons, documents from the
Middle Ages and the Modern Age; ethnography items. There are eight ground floor halls. Three
of them are dedicated to prehistory and ancient history: Neolithic idols, anthropomorphic and
zoomorphic pottery of Sultana (Gumelnia), items belonging to the Tei culture. Other three halls
illustrate mediaeval history: the artillery missiles collection of Giurgiu fortress, sgrafitto
pottery. The modern history halls present the period from 1821 to Alexandru Ioan Cuza: marble
coats of arms on the frontispiece of certain buildings, map collection, including the design of
the Giurgiu Fortress of 1790, worked out by the Austrians, a recent acquisition; the one hundred
year history of the Giurgiu shipyard; collection of over 19,000 periodicals: the complete
collections of "Resboiul", "Fundaiile Regale", "Viaa Romneasc", "Flacra", "Furnica" etc.,

In 1971 at Slobozia the ethnography department of the Ialomia County Museum was
established, which at first housed ethnographic exhibitions illustrating different aspects of
rural life in the Romanian Plain. Slobozia became the administrative location of the Ialomia
County Museum with two departments: the ethnography department based at Slobozia and
the archaeology department based at Clrai. In 1981 the Ialomia and Clrai counties
emerged. Thus, the Clrai based archaeology department became the Clrai County
Museum, today called the Museum of the Lower Danube. The Ialomia County Museum
emerged then from the Slobozia based ethnography department. The exhibition and scientific
profile of the museum encompasses many disciplines: archaeology, history, ethnography,
culture, religion. The county museum is divided into three departments located in various
places. The temporary exhibitions hall, located on the premises of the "Ionel Perlea" Cultural
Centre, currently houses a pottery and Romanian rugs exhibition from the collections of the
Ialomia County Museum. At Ograda, a village situated on the Bucharest-Constana highway,
in 1987. The "Ionel Perlea" Memorial House opened in the building that belonged to the great
conductor and composer. On the 20th of October 1996 the "Maia-Catargi Religious Art and
Culture Establishment" opened in the village of Maia-Catargi, commune of Brazi, where the
exhibits include religious artefacts, icons and religious books, gathered by the vicar Alexandru
Marinescu. The main building of the museum shelters archaeology collections: local history
collections, Neolithic archaeological vestiges of the Boian and Gumelnia cultures, Geto-
Dacian ones from the 4th century AD, Dridu culture items, mediaeval items, ethnographic
objects illustrating the Ialomia culture, its trades, coins uncovered at Oraul de Floci and
from the stray finds in the county, as well as an art collection. The museum heritage
comprises 20,000 pieces.

museum, that building had housed several institutions: medical school, shelter for the
orphans of World War II, and after the war here emerged the handicraft wares, that
functioned until 1958. In 1967, the site of the Saint Archiepiscopate of Bucharest underwent

piatr. Foiorul de pe latura de rsrit a palatului este de asemenea sprijinit pe opt coloane
de piatr, avnd o balustrad bogat decorat. Bolta foiorului fusese acoperit cu pictur
mural cu motive geometrice i vegetale, din care se mai pstreaz cteva fragmente. La etaj
- probabil n sala sptriei - exista o mare fresc ce istorisea, n panouri de cte doi metri,
cltoria domnitorului la Adrianopol, n 1703, i ntlnirea lui cu sultanul. Fragmente din
aceast fresc se mai pstrau nc la jumtatea secolului al XIX-lea, dar majoritatea picturilor,
stucaturilor i decoraiilor interioare au fost distruse de turci n 1775. Incrustaiile bogate
reunesc elemente stilistice caracteristice att renaterii ct i barocului. Domeniul Mogooaia
cuprinde azi un parc englezesc, cu grdini n stil italian, o curte n care se afla palatul, cuhnia,
gheria, turnul porii (ante 1702), casa de oaspei (secolul al XVII-lea, refaceri n 1927 - 1936),
iar n exteriorul ei serele "N. Bibescu" (1890), paraclisul "Sf. Gheorghe" (1688), i capela
Gheorghe Bibescu (secolul al XIX-lea). Palatul adpostete donaia Liana i Dan Nasta, o

The centre manages the Brancovan palaces of Mogooaia and Potlogi (1698, the courtyard
1681 - 1700). The Brancovan Palace of Mogooaia was first documented on the 24th of April
1698. The construction was completed on the 20 September 1702 (as the inscription above the
main door reads). Stephen, son of Prince Constantine Brancovan lived in the palace. Set by
the lakeside, in a rectangular courtyard surrounded by strong walls, the palace has a
rectangular, regular plan, having three storeys: basement (cellar), ground floor and upper
floor. The cellar is remarkable due to its sizes and solidness. A central pillar divides the space
into four rooms, each covered by a cupola with pendants. The ground floor comprises eight
rooms for the prince's servants, while the entire upper floor used to be inhabited by the
princely family. At the upper storey, on the faade looking out the lake, there is the most
refined architectural element of the palace: the magnificent loggia, Venetian in style, with
three arches. Nowadays it is framed by two turrets, added during the restoration from 1860
- 1880, that can be remarked due to their columns with capitals carved in stone. In addition,
the turret on the east side of the palace stands on eight stone columns, with a richly
decorated balustrade. The vault of the turret had been covered with mural painting with
geometric and floral motifs, of which a few fragments are extant. On the upper floor,
probably in the High Spatharus hall, there is a large fresco depicting, on two meter panels
each, the travel of the prince to Adrianopolis, in 1703, and his encounter with the sultan.
Fragments from this fresco were still extant by the middle of the 19th century, but most
paintings, stuccos and interior decorations were destroyed by the Turks in 1775. The rich
inlaid work mingls stylistic elements characteristic both of the Renaissance and the Baroque.
Nowadays Mogooaia estate comprises an English park, with Italian style gardens, a courtyard
where there are the palace, kitchen, ice house, gate tower (before 1702), the guest house
(the 17th century, 1927 - 1936 restorations), and outside it "N. Bibescu" greenhouses (1890),
"St. George" Chapel (1688), and Gheorghe Bibescu Chapel (the 19th century). The palace
shelters the Liana and Dan Nasta donation, a comparative art collection (about 300 pieces).
The ground floor halls and in the annexes annually present about 12 temporary, theme or
contemporary art exhibitions. The guest house hosts a conference room and residences.

The museum building is a monument of architecture of the period homestead type, built
by 1785, characteristic of Prahova towns. It is known as "Hagi Prodan House". It bears a stucco
decoration from 1825 - 1830, with floral ornamental motifs, a late influence of Brancovan
stucco decoration, originally in many colours, carried out by known local craftsmen. It has
been inhabited until the first decades of the 20th century, restored after World War I due to
the care of Nicolae Iorga, by the architect Toma T. Socolescu, and turned into the first
museum in the history of Ploieti. After 1957 it became a department of the History Museum,
as the manager Nicolae Simache built up here a museum figuring a period house ("Hagi Prodan
House"). In 1982 - 1984 the house was restored due to the care of the architect Clin
Hoinrescu, as the resistance structures were consolidated and the original look of the edifice
recreated. On the 31st of March 1985 here opened the Temporary Exhibition dedicated to the
poet Nichita Stnescu (1933 - 1983). Since 1989 the exhibition has been permanent. On the
1th of May 2005 here a permanent exhibition was opened reconstructing a typical urban house
from the 18th - 19th centuries. The visitors can see Oriental art objects, rugs, spice burners,
smoking devices, mother of pearl incrusted little tables, old Romanian textiles, the dining
room furniture, richly decorated, the wooden ceilings with star motifs, the mother-of-pearl
incrusted bed in the bedroom of the house, and kitchen daily houseware. One of the most
important exhibits is the "Icon from Jerusalem", dated 5th of June 1819, which belonged to
the owner of the house, Hagi Prodan.

This important establishment of musical culture owes its existence first of all to the
composers sister-in-law, Chemical Engineer Eleonora Constantinescu who, in the summer of
1993, donated to the state, the Prahova County Museum of History and Archaeology,
respectively, the building where the composer lived an important historic and architectonic
monument and a valuable heritage comprising a rich collection of books, pieces of furniture
and documents relating to the composers life and work, as the latter lived a part of his life
in this building. As already known, the composer Paul Constantinescu is one of the honoured
men of the city of Ploieti, as he was born there in the morning of the 30th of June 1909 in
a family of intellectuals. The musical creation of Paul Constantinescu includes many symphony
works, vocal-symphony ones, music for the theatre and film, choral music, chamber music,
piano and vocal music, that, due to its exceptional value, belongs to the national artistic
heritage.
The permanent museum exhibition, opened on the 20th of December 1993, on the 30th
commemoration of the death of this great composer, presents some original documents on the
life and activity of the famous musician, grouped in the seven departments, symphony music,
opera music, vocal-symphony music, chamber music, choral music, piano and vocal music, and
music for films.

The architectonic complex of Brebu represents one of the most important monuments
built by Prince Matei Basarab started in 1650, and finished by Prince Constantine Brancovan
in 1689, being a representative work of the 17th century architecture. The historic complex
of Brebu is similar to the Brancovan palaces that functioned as both homes and military
centres. The exterior walls were at the same time defence walls battlements and watching
bridges. The entrance to the precinct of the entire architectonic complex is under the belfry,
which is a four-storey massive brick building, 27 metres high. Next to the church, in the
monastery precinct, the builder raised large summerhouses that were built at the same time
with the fortress, tower, and church. Constantine Brancovan, who continued the works begun
by Matei Basarab, sent the peasants away from the Podul Cheii border in order to extend the

monastery premises, which brought him a lot of criticism. The struggle between the monks
and the peasants lasted until 1863, when the monastery fortunes were secularized and when
the monastery was turned into Parish church, and the estates were taken over by the Civil
Hospitals. Later, it functioned as a sanatorium, and between 1950 and 1957, it housed an
asylum for old people. This architectonic complex was restored two times: in 1843, during the
reign of Gheorghe Bibescu, and between 1957 and 1959, when the monument was brought to
the original shape, and became a museum.
The exhibits include mediaeval art items (icons, decorative art objects: garments, velvet
boyar garbs decorated with gold and silver threads, ornaments and jewels); old Romanian
prints from the 17th - 18th centuries, especially from the time of Matei Basarab and
Constantine Brancovan ("The Code of Law of Govora" from 1640, "The Straightening the Law",
printed at Trgovite in 1652, "The Bible of Bucharest" from 1688, books achieved by

Upon the death of the writer Cezar Petrescu (9th of March 1961) his wife, Florica Petrescu,
his brother and sisters inherited the house. The heirs offered it as a donation to the state
which was accepted in 1964, and the museum opened officially on the 17th of December 1967
in the presence of the family, local and county officials, representatives of the Ministry of
Culture and the Writers' Union, as well as friends of the writer's. In 1982, the family donated
some of the writer's personal belongings. The lawyers Elena and Dionisie Hobilescu raised the
building in 1918. Cezar Petrescu, who lived there with his family between 1937 and 1961,
bought it in 1937. The building underwent partial repairs in 1977 and 1992.

It is found in the manor raised during the second half of the 18th century by the boyar
Andrei Bozianu, Treasurer and later High Steward in the assembly. The well preserved building
is representative for the rural residential architecture from the end of the Romanian Middle
Ages. The edifice with massive walls was built out of stone masonry alternating with brick. In
the first of the four rooms of the edifice there is a presentation of the historical evolution of
the village community illustrated by archaeological finds attesting that the area was
inhabited from the Bronze Age and during the "classical" Geto-Dacian period (the 3rd-1st
centuries BC) and the 1st millennium AD (the 2nd - 3rd and 5th - 7th centuries AD). A series
of documents, artefacts and photographs attempt a reconstruction of the economic, social
and cultural life of the commune from the first mention (the 18th century) up to the 20th
century. The following two rooms are dedicated to the presentation of the specific
ethnography of the area: costumes, trades, etc. In the last room various religious items: rare
church books, icons, ecclesiastical objects and sacerdotal attire, etc. attempt at presenting
the spiritual life of the village; most of these pieces belong to the Parishes of Sngeru and
Mire, that gave this heritage in custody, in order to be presented in an exhibition.

Charles of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen began to build the castle in 1873, after the designs of
the architect Wilhelm Doderer, of the German architecture school. The official inauguration
took place in October 1883, but subsequently the castle was transformed and extended,
between 1883 and 1914, under the guidance of the architect Karel Liman, who ended the
German neo-Renaissance works. Pelior Castle was built by Charles I between 1898 and 1901,
designed by the Czech architect Karel Liman, inaugurated in 1902 as royal residence and
decorated by Queen Mary in the Art Nouveau style.

valoare din cristal, porelan, metal sau ceramic dau strlucire interioarelor. n salon se
pstreaz pianul maestrului, un Ibach, fcut la Lausanne. La Sinaia s-au compus Rapsodiile
romne, Concertul pentru pian, vioar, viol i violoncel nr. 1 n Re major, Opus 16, numeroase
sonate, printre care Sonata pentru pian n Fa diez minor, Opus 24, nr. 1. Aici, n vila Lumini,
n anul 1927, a luat lecii de vioar, timp de dou luni, Yehudi Menuhin. Etajul mansardat a
fost adugat de arhitectul casei, Radu Dudescu, pentru a echilibra verticalitatea turnului n
ansamblul vilei i a devenit locul preferat al maestrului pentru activitatea muzical. n
camerele mansardei este astzi prezentat materialul documentar legat de viaa i activitatea
lui George Enescu. Tot din salon se ptrunde n camera soiei lui George Enescu, Maria
Cantacuzino-Enescu, unde ambiana trdeaz spiritul eclectic al acesteia. n schimb, camera
maestrului se remarc prin intimitate i este mobilat ntr-un stil autentic romnesc. Spaiile
de la parterul vilei au fost destinate personalului de serviciu, dar tot aici se afla i
apartamentul pentru oaspei. Bustul n marmur al lui George Enescu, aflat la intrarea n vil,
este realizat de sculptorul Ion Irimescu.
George Enescu used Lumini Villa, designed in an authentic Romanian style, as a place both
for resting after his numerous concerts, and of inspiration for a considerable part of his
creation. After he deserted this fatherland for good in 1946, because of political events, in
1947 in Paris he signed for the donation of Lumini Villa, that turned into a cultural
establishment, meant as a recreation and meditation house for Romanian and foreign artists.
After a restoration period began in 1990, Lumini Villa was included in the national museum
circuit, under the name of "George Enescu" Memorial House. The upper floor rooms are large,
with furnished interior, arranged with refinement and imagination. There harmoniously
mingle Bidermayer decoration and furniture. Many valuable crystal, porcelain, metal or
ceramic pieces give brilliance to the interiors. The master's piano, an Ibach made at Lausanne,
is located in the hall. Here at Sinaia, he created the Romanian rhapsodies, the piano, violin
and cello concert, no. 1, D, Opus 16, many sonatas, including the piano sonata F sharp, Opus
24, no. 1. There, in Lumini Villa, in 1927, he taught Yehudi Menuhin violin lessons for two
months. From the hall, the spiral staircase allows the access to the end of the belvedere
tower and from there to the attic. The attic floor was added by the architect of the house,
Radu Dudescu, to balance the verticality of the tower within the whole villa and became the
favourite place of the master for his musical activity. Today in the attic rooms there is on
display a rich documentary material relating to the life and activity of George Enescu. Also
from the hall one steps into the room of George Enescu's wife, Maria Cantacuzino-Enescu,
where the atmosphere reveals an eclectic outlook. Instead, the master's room is remarkably
intimate and furnished in an authentic Romanian style. The rooms on the ground floor of the
villa were meant for the servants, but also there was the guest room. The marble bust of
George Enescu, found at the entrance to the villa, is the work of the sculptor Ion Irimescu.

The world history professor at the University of
Bucharest, a member of the Romanian Academy, a scholar
recognized worldwide and a member of outstanding cultural
and scientific institutions, "doctor honoris causa" of ten
foreign universities, Nicolae Iorga wrote over 1250 books
and 25,000 articles. He published many works regarding the
history of south - east European peoples, the west and east
Slavs, the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. He activated in
the "League for the Cultural Unity of All Romanians",
lectured in this country and abroad on the Romanian history
and culture, organized international congresses and founded Romanian institutions in this
country and abroad. Nicolae Iorga lived and created at Vlenii de Munte between 1907 and
1940, in the building turned into a museum, inaugurated on the 28th of November 1965.
Attested in documents in 1833, the house built by colonel Panca is a monument of architecture
dating from the end of the 18th century, characteristic of the Prahova sub-Carpathian zone.
The building was restored in 1977. The house was bought by Iorga in 1908. He built two
building bodies, B and C, functioning at present as museums. Behind the building, there is
another building, from the 16th century: "The School for Missionaries", founded in 1923 by
Iorga, that houses the Museum of Religious Art.
The "Nicolae Iorga" Museum includes two exhibitions: a documentary one and a Romanian
Mediaeval art one. Nicolae Iorga's house hosted many Romanian and foreign scientific and
cultural personalities, as here the historian founded a series of cultural establishments that
turned the old town of Vleni into a national, and even European attraction: the Popular
University (1908 - 1914; 1921 - 1940); the "Romanian People" publishing house; a School for
Missionaries meant for "raising the standards of civilization in villages by spreading the
culture inspired by the healthy traditions of the Romanian people"; the Establishment for
Minorities (1926); the Establishment for Foreign Students (1929); the School of United Arts
(1938); a museum of mediaeval art.

The History and Archaeology Department is rooted in the "Alexandru and Aretia Aman
Foundation", established in 1908. Later on, in 1915, upon the initiative of Professor tefan
Ciuceanu, it became the Oltenia Regional Museum of Antiquities and Ethnography, located in
the building of the Dolj Prefecture, then in Bania House and, in 1948, in the building in 44
Madona Dudu Street. The present building of the History and Archaeology Department was
erected between 1905 and 1907, to serve as a school building, after the plans of the architect
Fr. Billek, preserving the Romanian architectural style.
Over the decades, the department heritage grew and the museum developed its
collections: the Neolithic of Crcea, the clay figurines of Grla Mare, the bronze ornaments
of Basarabi, the Dacian treasure of Craiova, lamps, hoards, religious art items, fresco
fragments from the "St. John Sebastian" Church, side and fire arms, furniture, clocks,
photographs, post cards, flags, a lapidarium, periodicals. All those make up the over 20
collections, rising to over 100,000 cultural assets, that contributes to the reconstruction of
the main events of the evolution of human society from the ancient times to this day.

A monument of nature, the cave was prepared for visitors in 1984, when it was electrified.
It represents a natural cave inhabited by humans, with the absolute altitude of 670 m, a
relative altitude of 75 m, a length of 9,171 m, with two openings. It has a main horizontal
gallery from which run small lateral corridors, filled with alluvia. The gallery has three
sectors. It was researched by many Romanian and foreign researchers, and published by Silvia
Iancu and Ilie Ion in 1961. During the field walking carried out by Vasile Boronean, between

In 1912 Professor Brccil established the "History Museum of Traian High School", that
moved in 1926 to the newly built construction near the Roman camp, that formerly had to
shelter a museum named from then onwards "Museum of History and Ethnography in Turnu
Severin". After 1945, the museum grew in importance and developed its research area, as the
Museum of the Iron Gates Region. On the 15th of May 1972 the museum opened under the
present display having two departments: history and natural sciences with an aquarium
presenting Danubian fish species. Later on ethnography and art departments emerged.
The exhibition illustrates the fields: natural sciences (fauna and flora, an aquarium for the
Danubian fauna and exotic fish), history, documents, archaeology (including prehistoric finds
from Schela Cladovei, Roman finds from Drobeta and lapidarium), numismatics, ethnography
(costumes, pottery, textiles from Mehedini and the Iron Gate areas), Romanian fine arts
(many works, even masterpieces, signed by great painters, such as Luchian, Petracu, Pallady,
Tonitza, Dimitrescu, irato, Stoenescu, Iser, Ressu).
The history - archaeology department comprises nine halls: Prehistory - the vestiges of the
material and spiritual life of the Schela Cladovei culture, the Geto-Dacian Civilization, the
Daco-Roman Wars, Roman Ancient Monuments (the bridge at Drobeta from the years 103 -
105), Mediaeval History, the Modern Age, Romanian Feudal Art and the Contemporary Age.

It represents a natural cave, partially inhabited by humans, with the absolute altitude of
434 m; the relative altitude of 84 m. It has five openings and has a total length of 20,500 m.
The cave is huge, with a four-storied gallery network: two fossils, one subfossil and another
active, resulted from the action of the water flowing from three streams. The cave was
mentioned in 1880 by V. Dumitrescu; Gheorghe Murgoci researched it in 1898, N. Densusianu
in 1913 and I. Vintilescu in 1941, in 1961, V. Decu; Marcian Bleahu, I. Povar and G. Diaconu
joined in 1974. It was divided by speleologists into several sectors (the exploration is not yet
complete).
More important archaeologically is the "Woman's Cave" sector, leading to the "Bat
Corridor", then to the "Fireplace Corridor", where we identified fireplaces from the Neolithic,
the Dacian period and the Middle Ages. There were also pottery and metal artefacts.
Archaeological excavations were conducted also on the outside, which uncovered iron ore
processing furnaces from the Dacian period. The researches were joined also by E. Bujor,
Vasile Boroneant et al. In several places also fossil fauna (Ursus spaeleus) was identified as
well. It is one of the most beautiful and important caves in the world. The cave is protected
and closed for tourists. Visitation is regulated. The archaeological traces uncovered belong to
the Neolithic Age, Hallstatt Age, the Dacian period and the Middle Ages.

After World War I a few Slatina collectors started private archaeology, coin and folk art
collections. On the 1st of May 1952 the Slatina District Museum was inaugurated. The collector
Jack Florescu set in his own house two halls for presenting the collection. The archaeological
excavations in the Slcua - Gumelnia Neolithic tells at Slatina (Strehare), Brebeni and
Drgneti-Olt, in the settlement of Verbicioara at Doneti (Vultureti), in the dava at
Sprncenata, in the camp and civil settlement of Acidava (Enoeti Piatra Olt), at Chilia (the
free Dacians), or in the settlement of Ipoteti (Ipoteti-Cndeti-Ciurelu Culture) considerably
enrich the initial collections.
The archaeology collections stand proof of the occupation continuity and uninterrupted
civilization on the lower Olt Valley by items illustrating the prehistorical or ancient material
and spiritual culture: pottery, tools, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic statuettes; others
prove the Geto-Dacian civilization, the Roman civilization in the area of the Alutan and trans-
Alutan limes, the occupation continuity in the migrations age (two cultures of the same period
were discovered in Olt: Chilia Culture and Ipoteti Culture near Slatina-Cndeti-Ciurelu), as
268 Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Oltenia

well as the unbroken ties with the Byzantine Empire (the Byzantine silver coin hoard from the
7th century, digital fibulas and traditional Byzantine lamps). The Middle Ages reflects in a
series of testimonies illustrating the links some princes had with Olt county: Vlad Vintil,
Michael the Brave, Matei Basarab and Constantine Brancovan; documents on great families,
such as: Buzeti, Brancovan, Deleanu, etc.; weapons; rare books; ornaments; numismatics -
coins or coin hoards proving longstanding trade relations in an important customs place like
Slatina (documented on the 20th of January 1368).
The modern age comprises collections of documents, weapons, prints, period photographs,
decorative art items and emphasizes the role of the urban settlement in the revival and
national emancipation processes.
The art department comprises works of contemporary painting and sculpture and focuses
on creations of fine artists from Olt county.
Currently the Olt County Museum includes two departments open to the public: a history
and Slatina culture department (permanent exhibition inaugurated on the 20th of April 2000),
spanning 123.28 sq.m. and the "Ion Popescu-Negreni" contemporary art department, (a

The museum was established in 1951, having a mixed profile: history, ethnography, natural
sciences. The building is a historic monument built in 1907. The museum exhibition includes
two departments: folk art and ancient history. The richness of the settlement of Celei,
starting from the Neolithic traces up to the Middle Ages has constantly supplied the museum
heritage. The collections include archaeological finds, weapons, tools, household utensils,
pottery, ornaments, coins bronze and marble statuettes, funerary monuments, pieces of
architecture, epigraphic pieces of remarkable quality, Byzantine treasures. There are also
natural sciences and paleontological specimens, flora and fauna from the area. Meanwhile,

The ruins of this fortified settlement found on the territory of the former village of Celei
seem to be the traces of a settlement from the transition period from the Neolithic to the
Bronze Age, belonging to the Coofeni culture. Around this settlement by the name of
Sucidava, during the Daco-Roman wars period, an earth camp was built, and after the
conquest of Dacia, the first Roman colonists settled around the camp, forming the "vicus"
(village). The settlement became an important military, economic and port centre, and in the
year 250 it became a city. Between 306 and 337 the fortified settlement, destroyed by the
Huns, was restored and turned into a military base where barracks, stables, a bridge over the
Danube and a fort were built. During the 14th century, over these ruins a Romanian half-

sunken dwelling settlement emerged. We uncovered the defence walls, with eight towers, of
the late Roman city of Sucidava (the 4th - 6th centuries), that, together with the current
village, covers a less known part of the Roman city from the 2nd - 3rd centuries; Roman baths,
a paleo-Christian basilica (the 5th - 6th centuries), paved streets, a secret underground well
built by the Romans that has been preserved; the base of the bridge foot built across the
Danube during Constantine the Great, etc.

The museum was established on the 5th of August 1980, under the name of Drgneti-Olt
history and ethnography Museum, by Professor Traian Zorzoliu who donated 11 collections to
the museum. In 1982 the Nicolae Titulescu memorial house was affiliated to the history
museum as a department, also by Professor Zorzoliu. Between 1980 and 1990, the museum
was coordinated for free) by Traian Zorzoliu who used to be a drawing teacher. In 1990, by
the Olt County Council's decision the Drgneti-Olt history museum turned into an institution
with juridical status and the necessary personnel was employed. In 1995 the Nicolae Titulescu
memorial house, as proposed by the history Museum, turned into an institution in its own
right under the name of Nicolae Titulescu memorial Complex. In 1996, the history Museum
became a local museum under the name of the Drgneti-Olt Boian Plain Museum. The
museum buildings are part of the Polihronie Ioan mansion. The largest house, built at the end
of the 18th century, has five rooms. On the west side it used to have a porch above the cellar
entrance. The building is a monument of architecture, as it is the oldest house in the area. In
its courtyard there is another building from the end of the 19th century and a century old
servant house. The history and archaeology collections date from the Neolithic, and Bronze
Age. The exhibition includes Daco-Roman and early Romanian artefacts, coins, religious
objects, memorial archives, items illustrating trades and customs, pottery, costumes; fine
arts collection including works by Romanian classics from the interwar period, icon collection,
and special memorial collections illustrating the area.

The museum is located in a building raised in 1898, redesigned between 1978 and 1981,
listed as a monument of architecture. The permanent exhibition collections are presented
chronologically, revealing to visitors the continuous dwelling in these places, stretching along
the Olt Valley, at the foot of the Carpathians.
The permanent exhibition opens with archaeological finds from the Palaeolithic, the
Neolithic and the Bronze Age displayed according to the modern graphic pattern. It is worth
mentioning the reconstructed Roman period archaeological sites of Stolniceni, Ocnia, the
Roman camp of Arutela - Cciulata and the imperial silver coin hoard uncovered at Pdureu
(Babeni). The Romanian Middle Ages state is revealed by presenting the evolution of
freeholder armies and governed villages, due to the emergence of high officials' families and
of the Rmnic town life. Life in mediaeval Vlcea is revealed by the finds from the central
park of the town, from Inteti hermitage, Ostrov hermitage and from Budeti, where hoards
from the 16th century were found, as well as from some exhibits depicting original and copied
documents from the 8th century. Other exhibition includes art items from the 16th - 17th
centuries, manufactured at Braov or originating in the transition trade, that were displayed
in two interiors: a peasant one and a boyar one. Vlcea people's involvement in the revolution

from 1821 and 1848, in the achievement of the modern state and in the war of independence
from 1877 is presented due to concrete exhibits: documents, chromolithographs and weapons.
The literary press images of yore and the prints edited by Vlcea personalities give a clue as
to the development of spiritual, cultural and educational life in this area. The exhibits in the
window include school books, memorial items, portraits of outstanding Vlcea personalities,
such as: Anton Pann, Petrache Poienaru, Dimitrie Drghicescu, Gib Mihescu, and Cecilia
Cuescu-Storck.

The house sheltering the Anton Pann memorial exhibition is a monument of urban
architecture, built by the middle of the 18th century, with turret and basement.
The exhibition was intended to reveal the travels on Vlcea land, from 1826 - 1828, 1836
- 1840, of the man who rose to public awareness as "witty as a proverb" and who taught music
at the school organized by Rmnic Bishopric. Anton Pann (1794, Sliven Bulgaria - 1854,
Bucharest) took refuge in 1812 in Bucharest, and in 1827 was appointed religious music
teacher at the Seminary in Rmnicu Vlcea.
The house-museum moved 37 meters away from its original site due to town planning. The
exhibition illustrates the interior of a modest market town dwelling from the middle of the
19th century. The exhibition includes pieces of furniture (a sofa, a library, a table, chairs),
decorative tin, brass and German silver items, and portraits of personalities from that time,
such as: Mother Meletina, abbess of "Dintr-un Lemn" convent and the printer Ion Popovici, who
was related to the writer's life and work. In the second room of the exhibition there are on
display an interior that once comprised painted furniture specific of the Transylvanian area,
which emphasizes the links that Anton Pann used to have with that region. In the last room
of the museum there are on display musical works, folklore collections, poetry and stories by
Anton Pann. ("Noul Erotocrit", Sibiu, 1837, "Fabule si istorioare", Bucharest, 1841, "Povestea
Vorbei", Bucharest, 1847, Nastratin Hogea, Bucharest, 1853, etc.), pointing to the value of his
printing and literary activity.

The building sheltering the Art Museum belonged to Nae and Tita Simian family from
Slitea Sibiului, owners of a footwear factory in Rmnicu Vlcea, by the middle of the 20th
century. The house has a specific architectonic structure, comprising two types of space, one
of which reveals the expressivity of the old house of the Simian family, built in 1940 by the
architects Gheorghe Simotta (1891 1979) and Nicolae Lupu, both in neo-Romanian style, and
the other one neutral, meeting the requirements of an art gallery, built when the house
turned into a museum. The permanent exhibition of the Art Museum gathers valuable
Romanian paintings and sculptures by some famous artists from the end of the 19th century:
N. Grigorescu, Nicolae Vermont, Sabin Popp, Ipolit Strambu, Sava Henia, Ion Georgescu, and
Fr. Storck. The museum holds works from the first half of the 20th century by Gh. Petracu,
N. Tonitza, Th. Pallady, and C. Michailescu. The works from the second half of the 20th
century include paintings by: H. Catargi, I. uculescu, Florin Niculiu, Margareta Sterian,
Micaela Eleutheriade, Lucia Dem. Blcescu, Corneliu Baba, Camil Ressu, Horia Bernea, Virgil
Almaanu, Dan Hatmanu, Sabin Blaa, Ion Sliteanu, Paul Gherasim, Ion Grigorescu, Marin
Gherasim, Viorel Mrgineanu etc. and a few sculptures including some of remarkable artistic
achievement by George Apostu, Ovidiu Maitec and Costel Badea.
The museum has a Venetian school painting from the first half of the 18th century.

Due to a creation camp, during the last decade of the 20th century, the collections were
enriched with works by contemporary painters: Vasile Tolan, Horia Petruiu, Vioara Bara,
Mircea Catuanu, Adrian Chira, Ion Augustin Pop, tefan Pelmu, and Epaminonda Tiotiu.
During the same period the Art Museum received an important donation from the artists
Gheorghia and Gregorian Rusu, comprising paintings and graphics. Although not on a
permanent basis, the exhibition includes also rare Romanian art items, icons and religious
items from the County Museum collection, revealing formal tendencies from the 16th - 19th
centuries, representative for Vlcea County. The Art Museum also holds a rich collection of
graphics, drawings and watercolours that are on display on a temporary basis. Each year the
Art Museum organizes contemporary painting and sculpture exhibitions, and in summer time,
in the inner courtyard local fine artists exhibit their works.

The Vlcea Village Museum developed its profile and themes as a museum village in 1974.
It was designed to reconstruct the functional image of a traditional rural settlement, with all
its social and cultural institutions on an eight hectare area. The organizers of this open air
museum took into account a few basic factors of a true village - the forms of relief of the
area, fireplace and its border with all its elements - depending on where the community
280 Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Oltenia
www.cimec.ro
homesteads and constructions moved from various localities of the Vlcea county were placed.
Currently, the museum is representative due to its four sectors: 1. the Homestead Sector - the
dwelling comprises 42 units and over 12,000 museum artefacts, illustrating the homestead
structure, according to the traditional trades: agriculture, fruit-growing, winegrowing,
animal breeding or a series of folk crafts and techniques; the diversity and planimetric and
volumetric evolution of the dwellings with one or more rooms are emphasized. The
remarkable exhibition includes the houses with pavilion in the Horezu ethnographic area (in
the communes of Mldreti, Stoeneti, Brbteti), the homesteads specializing in
winegrowing, moved from Drgani (the villages of Prundeni, Olteanca), in fruit growing (the
communes of Alunu, Tomani, Cernioara) or in animal breeding in the mountainous regions
(the villages of Boioara, Pscoaia-Brezoi). Next to the dwellings, several adjoining
constructions were moved to the homesteads: barns, sheds, haylofts, coops for food storage
or for breeding birds and animals. 2. the Social - Cultural Sector of the "public utility
monuments" includes a rural primary school from the beginning of the 20th century, from
Spiru Haret's time; an inn from the end of the 19th century from the village of Slite, the
commune of Mlaia; a wooden church, built in 1785 and moved from the commune of Nicolae
Blcescu; a swing from the commune of Stoeneti, and in the future this sector will be
completed with other architectonic sites. 3. the Folk Crafts - Techniques Sector presents the
procedures and techniques for processing the raw matter necessary for manufacturing tools,
vessels and various household items, the methods used for vegetal or animal fibre processing
or the traditional techniques for obtaining animal and vegetal products. Several workshops
were moved and reconstructed inside the museum: the pottery from the location of Vldeti
(the 20th century); the joinery-carpentry workshop (the 20th century) from the village of
erbneti, the commune of Sltrucel; goat's hair processing workshop (early 20th century)
from the village of Curtea, the commune of Popeti; as well as a smithy from the commune
of Prundeni. It is worth mentioning also the installations - the mills driven by hand and the
watermills from the ethnographic area of Lovitea, plum-brandy boilers from the localities of
Stoeneti and Buda, the fulling mill from the locality of Costeti, the drying kiln for plums
from the village of Muiereasca de Sus, or several winegrowing installations (presses),
organized inside the homesteads of some winegrowers, moved from the localities of
Mitrofani, Olteanca, Prundeni, in the area of the Drgani vineyard. 4. the Specialized
Constructions Sector - represented by a few items illustrating those in the village border or
in the mountainous zone: roadside cross, moved from the localities of Govora-sat and Feteni,
border wells, beehives, a sheepfold moved from Smeurat Mountain, a vine manor moved from
the commune of Frtatesti, watch towers, etc. Last but not least, the valuable Vlcea folk
art is displayed in the museum by the interior decoration of the dwellings, inside the
workshops, as fabrics or pottery, wooden and metal artefacts, icons and pieces of furniture.

"Dintr-un lemn" Monastery was built by the middle of the 17th century, on the traces of
the former wooden church from the end of the 16th century. It was built by Preda Brancovan
between 1634 and 1635. Serban Cantacuzino added the porch in 1684 and enlarged the
windows. The pronaos turret and the painting were carried out by the painter master
Constantinos. The portal of the church as well as the hermitage, cells and bell tower were
built by Serban Cantacuzino in 1715, when also the old inscription was replaced. The

The museum in Alba Iulia was inaugurated in 1888 upon the initiative of the Historical,
Archaeological and Natural Sciences Society of the Lower Alba County, having the famous
archaeologist Adalbert Cserni as headmaster. In 1929, under the aegis of the ASTRA
Association, it was organized as the Museum of the Union. Valuable artefacts further enriched
the rich archaeological collections and a new collection of items belonging to the modern
history of the Romanians was added. In 1938, under the lead of the historian Ion Berciu, the
settlement came to be managed by the Romanian state, but with a changed name: the Alba
Regional Museum. In 1968, it underwent an ample reorganization, returning to its former
name. Both buildings of the museum are listed as historic monuments. The "Babylon" building
is a historic monument built between 1851 and 1853, bearing influences of Romantic
architecture. It was used as a residence pavilion for officers, and between 1967 and 1968, it
was refurbished to become a museum. The Union Hall (Sala Unirii) was built between 1898
and 1900. It is the building where The Great National Assembly voted the union of
Transylvania with Romania. The museum presents prehistorical archaeology items (pottery,
stone, bronze and iron tools and weapons), Dacian archaeology items - from the Dacian
settlements of Craiova, Cugir and Cplna (pottery, monuments, iron, bronze, silver tools,
weapons and ornaments), Roman finds - from the great city of Apulum (Roman epigraphic and
sculptural monuments from the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, gems and cameos, coins, pottery,
lamps, iron tools and weapons) and mediaeval items (pottery, jewels, bronze, silver and gold
objects). The modern history collection is also interesting (documents, photographs,
memorial objects from the Revolution of 1848 and the Union of the 1st of December 1918).

The building is part of the Aiud fortress mediaeval architectural complex, situated in the
central area of the town precincts. It was built in Transylvanian Gothic style on the northern
side of the precincts wall, being made up of the Gate Tower (from the 14th century), and a
building on the west wing, on the east-west axis, from the 16th - 17th centuries. Initially built
for the Roman-Catholic Church prelates, the building is referred to as castle in 1538. In 1556
it becomes the property of the Transylvanian princes along with the rest of the domains of
the Catholic Church. Between 1613 - 1629 it belonged to Prince Gabriel Bethlen. Depending
on these various owners, the building bore the names of the Princely Castle/Palace or the
Bethlen Castle/Residence. Later it would be named the Noblemen's House. Over the centuries
several modifications of the roof, doors and windows were undertaken, especially during the
17th - 18th centuries, but also in the 19th century. By 1940, a number of dependencies were
added to the edifice. Two decades ago the entire building underwent a few repairs. The
collections include ancient history and archaeology exhibits from the Neolithic to the Early
Middle Ages - Hallstatt bronze deposits (Cetatea, Crizbav, Zagon, plnaca I and II), Scythian
and Celtic artefacts, Roman bronze helmet from Lunca Mureului, Roman epigraphic and
sculpture monuments, artefacts from the rustic villa of Aiudul de Sus. As a specific cultural
institution, the museum was established in 1796 under the name of raritavm et rervm
natvralivm mvsevm, by the Bethlen Reformed Academic College. Initially the historic value
items had been inserted into the "rarities" collection, together with other pieces from the
natural sciences field. It was only in 1862 that Professor Szathmary Karoly organized the first
antiquities collection, including items from more recent times. A numismatic collection was
established in 1822. In 1863, it was enriched with the coins and medals collection of Mik
Imre. These collections developed also due to the contribution of Professor Kerepey Karoly -
custodian of the antiquities collection between 1881 - 1896 and of Fenichel Samuel - ex-
employee of the Antiquities Museum in Bucharest, but also explorer of New Guinea and
observer of the Papuan life. In 1950 the museum was separated from the college by
Government Decision, being turned into two distinct cultural institutions: the History Museum
and the Natural Sciences Museum.

former rarities collection grew the history collection. In 1950 the museum was separated from
the college and the natural sciences collections made up a cultural institution on its own - The
Aiud Museum of Natural Sciences. The museum heritage is very rich, as most of the over
30,000 exhibits in four halls each with their own specificity. The museum is situated in the
precincts of the Gabriel Bethlen College, in the left wing, inaugurated in 1886, on the first
floor of the building.

The memorial house evokes the legendary figure of Avram Iancu (1824 - 1872), Romanian
lawyer and revolutionary, one of the leaders of the Revolution from 1848 - 1849 in
Transylvania. The museum is sheltered by the native house, built around 1800 by his parents:
Alexandru and Maria Iancu. The house is specific to the Apuseni Mountains area. It has a conic
roof ended in four semi-circular arcades. The annexes were built in 1924 by ASTRA Association
in Sibiu. The museum was established through the effort of ASTRA Association and it has been
functioning since 1924. Before 1972, the annexes had been used as classrooms for the Inceti
village primary school. In 1972, a century after the death of Avram Iancu, the museum was re-
organized: new history and ethnography exhibitions were opened in the right annex. The

The museum is located in a building dating from 1872, with a stone ground floor and a
wooden first floor. Before the museum was established, the ground floor had been used by
the local gendarmerie, while the first floor served as school and vicarage. The communal
museum was initiated and organized by teacher Pamfil Albu, starting from a beautifully
sculpted "lacru" (pencil box), in 1937. By 1952, his collection numbered more than 2,300
objects. The same year the collection became a public museum named Lupa Ethnographic
Museum. The deciding contribution came from the manager of the Transylvania Ethnographic
Museum in Cluj, Valeriu Butura, who provided the auxiliary means for exhibiting and

collection contains valuable artefacts, and even unique ones: "gujba" or "gndila" (wooden
chains), the "spegmnrie" (reels for the tow thread), the hedgehog skin comb, the
characteristic window and many others. The history collection includes: the flag used in the

The construction of the Fgra Fortress began during the 14th century, and continued
steadily up to the middle of the 18th century. During the 16th century the defence military
fortress turned into a fortified feudal castle by tefan Mailat (1528 1541). During the 17th
century the Transylvanian princes Gabriel Bthlen (1613 - 1629) and Gheorghe Rckozi I (1630
- 1648) increased and embellished the castle, giving it the present form and sizes. Over the
time the constructions functioned as: defence military fortress, princely residence, barracks
for the Austrian troops, prison (1948 1962). In 1936, "ASTRA" took over the ethnographic
collection of the historian Valer Literat. The museum department established in the Fgra
Fortress in 1968 and in time affiliated to Brukenthal Museum in Sibiu, merged with the City
Museum in 1973. The new institution was named "Fgra Fortress" Museum. Since 1981 it has
borne the name of the Museum of Fgra Land.
The museum collections include archaeological finds, coins, documents on the Middle Ages
and modern history of Fgra Country, fine arts, decorative art, folk craftsmanship items
(pots, cloth, fabrics, fur coats), glass icons, folk interiors, Saxon civilization items, etc. The
valuable exhibits include: Roman parade mask from the 2nd - 3rd centuries, mediaeval hoard
from the 14th - 17th centuries, discovered in the village of Pru, the Virgil Fulicea sculpture
gallery (donation).

The building is a historic monument, documented in 1543. For three centuries it was a place
for collecting taxes. Over time, the building underwent changes, the present aspect dating from
1804. From 1848 the "Tax House" lost its original role, as it received various public functions. In
1962 the monument was taken over by the Braov County Museum, that organized in 1964 the
first history - ethnography permanent exhibition. Since 1990 it has been the subsidiary of the
Braov Ethnographic Museum. The museum shelters historical documents, various folk costumes,

The early days of the National History Museum of Transylvania dates from the 19th century,
more precisely from 1859, when the Transylvanian Museum Society was established. The Society
systematically acquired collections of antiquities, botany, zoology and mineralogy, coins and
medals etc. In 1856, Count Emeric Mik, a Transylvanian man of culture, donated his villa and
park for establishing the museum, which, in 1860, was endowed with a library of its own. In 1872,
all these collections were included in the heritage of the newly founded Cluj University. In 1929,
the Institute for Classical Studies took over the antiquities collection. The museum opened to the
public on the current premises in 1937, presenting to the visitors collections of antiquities,
mediaeval and modern pottery, a mediaeval lapidarium, a painting gallery and an ethnographic
collection. From 1948, the History Museum functioned within the Romanian Academy, the Cluj
subsidiary, and in 1963, the museum became an independent institution. The museum owns
important collections of archaeology prehistoric, classical and mediaeval history, coins and
medals, clocks, lapidarium and others. Among them we mention the Uioara bronze hoard, Dacian
pottery, iron tools and various finds discovered during the excavations of the Dacian fortresses
from the Ortie Mountains, the unique Dacian vessel bearing the inscription with the name of
the most famous Dacian king "Decebalus per Scorilo", Roman inscriptions, funerary stones and
sculptures; prints, engravings, mediaeval maps, weapons and documents from the Revolution of
1848. The museum owns goods listed in the National Cultural Heritage Treasure.

The museum is housed in an important Baroque building from the 18th century, Banffy
Palace, a historic monument, designed by the German architect Johann Eberhard Blaumann,
and possesses an extremely precious heritage of Romanian and European art: paintings,
graphics, and decorative art (the 15th - 20th centuries). Founded in 1951, from the very
beginning the museum benefited from earlier collections: a small part of the curiosities
collections, silverware, pieces of furniture and European fine arts, coming from the
Transylvanian Museum, and above all the collection known under the name of "Virgil Cioflec
Picture Gallery". Virgil Cioflec (1876 1948) donated his Romanian art collection to the
University of Cluj (1929 1930). The opening to the public of the Virgil Cioflec picture gallery
(1933) meant the opening in Cluj of the first modern Romanian art museum whose successor
became the Cluj National Art Museum.

Created with the passion and competence of the connoisseur who can appreciate
consecrated values (Nicolae Grigorescu, tefan Luchian, Dimitrie Paciurea), and support open-
mindedly authentic talents (Theodor Pallady, Camil Ressu, Vasile Popescu, Jean Al. Steriadi,
Lucian Grigorescu, Oscar Han, Cornel Medrea), the Virgil Cioflec Collection also nowadays
stands for the relevant core of the Cluj National Art Museum heritage. The museum
collections enriched in the following years as transfers, donations, and acquisitions poured in.
The works of art transferred by the Ministry of Culture, the Bucharest National Art Museum,
and the local Administration (Barbu Iscovescu, Constantin David Rosenthal, Theodor Aman,
Gheorghe Tattarescu, Gheorghe Panaitescu Bagdasare, Carol Popp de Szathmry, Ioan
Andreescu, Karl Storck) were completed by a significant collection coming from the Cluj
Subsidiary of the Romanian Academy (1971). This collection made a strong impact on the
heritage as it comprises important works of art from Transylvania (unknown painters from the
18th - 19th centuries, Franz Neuhauser, Joseph Neuhauser, Franz Anton Bergman, Koreh
Sigismund, Szathmari Gati Sandor, Simo Ferenc). The upper floor halls display the National
Gallery. In 1990, the National Gallery was closed to be reorganized. It reopened in 1996,
presenting a four-century synthesis of Romanian art with an emphasis on the artistic
phenomenon in Transylvania: the Altar of Jimbor (the 16th century), Biedermeier paintings,
1900 style art, the avant-garde, the artists pertaining to the Higher School of Fine Arts and
the Cluj Artistic Centre: Alexandru Popp, Szolnay Sandor, Pericle Capidan, Catul Bogdan, Aurel

to this end. However, in 1922 the ministry transferred the task to the "Prince Charles" Cultural

Foundation that appointed a commission for making proposals for the future museum. The
commission charged Romulus Vuia to carry out in summer 1922 a research and acquisition
campaign in the ethnographic areas of Pdureni and the Haeg Country. That campaign
resulted in a collection of 1230 pieces and 160 ethnographic photographs. The collection laid
the foundation for the official recognition of the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania.
Between 1922 and 1925, the museum was housed in the Museum of Arts and Professions, 5
Bariiu Street. In that building, in the spring of 1925, they opened the first exhibition
displaying the acquisitions from Pdureni and the Haeg Country. Between 1925 and 1935, the
museum functioned in the Mihai Viteazu Square building. In 1928, the permanent exhibition
opened officially. The "Reduta" Palace, housing since 1959 the Ethnographic Museum of
Transylvania, dates from the 16th century. In the 18th - 19th centuries here was one of the
most important inns of the town.
The exhibition included the following theme sectors: exhibits from nature, hunting,
fishing, agriculture, animal breeding, textile domestic industry, furrier work, pottery,
construction elements, kitchen pots, costumes, clothing, and ethnographic maps. After the
Dictate of Vienna (1940), the museum moved to Sibiu where it functioned until 1945. The
museum was reorganized in 1958, and the collection has been much enriched over the last 40
years, as the collections rose to 55,000 items. The museum has also a library of 12,000
volumes.

Romulus Vuia designed the Ethnographic Park in 1929. After the Dictate of Vienna (30th of
August 1940), the Park moved to Sibiu where it functioned until 1945. In 1956 Teodor Onior
and Valer Butur restructured the Park on four theme sectors: Technical devices and trades
workshops; Zonal patterns of homesteads and folk architecture monuments; Ethnobotany
(traditional plants, boundary agricultural constructions; Livestock (animal breeding).
The first two departments are considered to be essential. The first one takes into account
the raw material of the exhibits: wood processing, metal processing and peasant mining; wool
processing; earth processing; stone processing; agricultural products processing.
The second one comprises exhibits from the Transylvanian ethnographic zones. Currently

The Zoological Museum is situated down stairs of the Faculty of Biology building. There are
10 rooms, from which only 7 are designated to public visiting. Made in 1859, as a department
of the Transylvanian museum, the Zoological Museum of the University of Cluj has gradually
increased its collections, counting now over 300,000 specimens. The museum contains several
scientific animal collections (Biltz malacological collections; Frantzenau lepidoptera collection;
Radu isopoda collection). Judging by the scientific value and the number of species detained,
the museum is situated on the second place, after Gr. Antipa Museum from Bucharest. The
exhibits are presented in more forms of conservation and are arranged in philogenetical order
to reflect the evolution of the animal reign but also in dioramas, thus showing the
interrelationships between species that form the animal world. Besides local species, a large
part represents exotic fauna. Also animals representing endemically rarities are exposed,
extinct species, or endemics. The diorama that shows the life of reed birds and their types of
nests and also the diorama with the fauna of the Brgan plain, is a suggestive informational
zone.

rectorul Antonio Possevino - i n special despre istoria universitii, care este astzi cunoscut
sub numele de Universitatea Babe-Bolyai. Cu ajutorul fotografiilor de epoc, a documentelor
originale ori n facsimil, a obiectelor personale i a crilor scrise sau folosite de ctre profesori
pentru studierea disciplinelor tiinifice i umaniste, se reconstituie pe rnd istoria i
activitatea tuturor colegiilor, facultilor i universitilor care au existat succesiv n oraul
nostru. Primele panouri din expoziia muzeului universitii prezint date legate de elevii i
profesorii de la colegiile pe care diferitele ordine religioase catolice i protestante le-au
nfiinat i condus n Cluj ntre secolul al XVI-lea i al XIX-lea. Sunt ilustrate apoi cele mai
semnificative aspecte din activitatea universitii maghiare Franz Iosif care a funcionat n Cluj
ntre 1872 - 1918, cnd Transilvania era parte integrant a Imperiului austro-ungar. Prezentarea
evoluiei Universitii Romneti "Regele Ferdinand" (1919 - 1945) ocup cea mai mare parte a
expoziiei permanente a muzeului. Tot n cadrul expoziiei permanente sunt prezentate date
legate de crearea Universitii "Babe-Bolyai", prin unificarea celor dou universiti, romn
i maghiar, n 1959, precum i o istorie a evoluiei i transformrilor acestei noi instituii

The Museum was inaugurated in April 2001. The idea of such a museum was first discussed
in 1994 at the 75th anniversary of the foundation of the Cluj Romanian University and was
again analyzed in 1999 at the 80th anniversary. Initially opened in only two rooms, the History
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Transilvania 311
www.cimec.ro
Museum of the "Babes-Bolyai" University was expanded in January 2002 in other three rooms.
The permanent exhibition is organized chronologically, trying to outline the multicultural
and multi-ethnical character of the university life in Cluj throughout the centuries. Our
Museum hosts data and information about the evolution of the academic institutions of Cluj,
starting with 1581 when a Jesuit College presided by the well-known monk Antonio Possevino
- was founded in the city. A special attention is given to the history of the university, which
is today known under the name of Babe-Bolyai. With the help of old photographs, original
documents or facsimiles, personal belongings of the professors, books written or used by them
for the study of sciences or humanities, the history and activity of each college, faculty and
university which existed in Cluj throughout the centuries, is reconstructed for our visitors.
Our first exhibition displays present data about the students and professors who studied
and worked at the colleges created by different religious orders catholic or protestant -
between the 16th and 19th centuries. Significant aspects of the evolution of the Hungarian
University Franz Josef, which functioned in Cluj between 1872 and 1918, when Transylvania
was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, are next displayed. Most of the permanent
exhibition is however dedicated to the development and activity of the Romanian university
,"King Ferdinand, which existed in Cluj between 1919 and 1945. Our permanent exhibition
also displays information about the creation and evolution of the Babe-Bolyai University,
which appeared in 1959 by an unification of the Romanian and Hungarian universities, and
has, since its appearance, transformed itself into a multicultural, European level university,
with many Faculties and specializations and a high level of scientific research.

The Dej City Museum is located in a building in the historical centre of Dej City, situated
in the main square - Boblna Square. The building was raised in 1860 by the architect Grigore
Pongracz, and the owner of the building was the nobleman (Baron) Nalaczi Carol. In 1997 the
museum was removed from the initial location - the Franciscan Monastery Clauster - and due
to a decision of the Dej Local Council moved to the current building. In 1899 the members of
the "Society for Literature, History and Ethnography of the Solnoc-Dbca District" lay the
foundation for a museum collection comprising 3,791 archaeology, art and ethnography items
at the State High School in Dej. In 1900, following a inspection from the Inspectorate for
Museums, it ceased to function because of inadequate maintenance and operation conditions.
Until 1904 the materials were transferred to the Transylvanian Museum in Cluj and to the Fine
Arts Museum in Budapest. In 1925 the City Council took the decision to establish a small
communal, and in 1932 the "Dej City Museum and Library Regulations" were signed. On the 8th
of September 1940 the city was invaded by the Horthy troops, that stormed the museum.
Between 1952 and 1953 the heritage moved to the ground floor of the Prefecture (in the
current City Hall). In 1968 the museum rose to the municipal rank and succeeded in extending
to the building of the old City Hall, but in 1974, under unsafe conditions, it was forced into
moving to another place, in the wet semi-basement of the Franciscan Clauster. The fine and
decorative art collection includes paintings and sculptures carried out by the students of the
"Nicolae Grigorescu" Institute for Fine Arts in Bucharest, as they were donated to the museum
in 1971, due to Professor Raoul orban, Ph.D. The archaeology collection comprises
archaeological finds achieved on the territory of Dej City, and nearby. Most artefacts include
Roman inscriptions (votive and funerary altars), architectonic fragments, water feed pipes,
pottery fragments, lamps, weapons, coins and other items. All these artefacts were uncovered
in the Roman camp of Ceiu - Samum, 6 km away from Dej. The history collection includes
several categories of museum objects: coats of arms carved in stone, weaponry (swords, spear
tips, arrows, rifles, pistols, helmets, campaigns chests, a.s.o.) from different historical
periods, guild chests, tools, flags, stamps, pottery, original or copy historical documents, rare
books written in the Slavonic, Latin, Hungarian and German languages.
The science and technology collection includes a mining history department - salt mining
at Ocna Dej. A well represented department is represented by the numismatic collection
counting over 2,000 coins, from various periods (the 14th - 20th centuries). The icon collection
includes old wooden icons from the 18th - 19th centuries. In the Art Gallery, inaugurated on
the 4th of March 1972, temporary exhibitions are organized, especially contemporary fine
arts.

The building housing the museum was built in early 18th century and was named Karaciany
House (private property). It is in the Baroque style, has a ground floor and an upper floor and
belongs to the listed buildings of the town. In 1905, it was sold to a Hungarian bank, and in
1910, it was bought by the Greco-Catholic Bishopric united with Rome in Gherla that used it
as theological institute. Between 1940 and 1948, the building was used by the church as a
home for priests. In 1948, it was nationalized and transformed into school for apprentices,
and later as council houses. In 1976, the restoration began and the building turned into a
museum. In 1993, it became the property of the united Greco-Catholic Bishopric, but it
continued to be a museum. The building is under restoration. It was established under the
name of the Armenian Museum, was reorganized in 1952, and based on older collections and
original researches.
The exhibits include Paleolithic and Neolithic items, Metal Age artefacts, Dacian tools,
military diplomas from the Roman camp of Gherla (2nd century), one of them dated 123;

After the Commission for Historic Monuments was founded (1921), the Cultural House
(Princely House) building was turned into a museum in 1925. The interwar collection is little
known. In 1943 the "Museum of the Town and County of Turda" was founded in the presence
of C. Daicoviciu and Ion Berciu. The town hall provided the former Cultural House for a
museum. In 1945 I.I. Russu was charged with organizing the "Archaeology Museum of Turda",
and in 1947-1948 he began gathering the museum collections with the help of Ion Tigra, the
first manager. The museum opened on the 23rd of August 1951; the basic collection included
archaeological finds. The "Princely Palace" of Turda that houses the museum is also known as:
Princely House, Princely Mansion, Bathory House, and is the oldest civil mediaeval building of
Turda. The monument probably dates from the end of the 16th c., but it contains older Gothic
and Renaissance elements. The monument, restored and rebuilt over the years, has
dramatically changed its exterior and interior appearance. It was restored after the 1658 and
early 18th c. fires. The last important restorations date from 1818, 1886 - 1887, and 1910 -
1913. Since 1951, it has functioned as history museum.
Prehistorical archaeology items. Roman pottery collection: terra sigillata and amphorae,
ordinary pottery, stamped ceramics, lamps, terracottas, etc. Bronze statuettes of different
deities, bronze lamps and candlesticks, military equipment pieces, weapons and small bronze
pieces. Votive and funerary monuments (stars, aedicules, statues, lions, pine cones,
sarcophagi), architectonic elements and construction materials. The Middle Ages are
illustrated by hoards, armour pieces, inscriptions and mining tools. The hall dedicated to
memorandum activist dr. Ion Raiu displays documents, photographs, photocopies from the
modern age. Ethnography collection: folk costumes, textiles, ceramics, wood and glass icons,
furniture. At present it is partially open - three rooms at the ground floor are hosting a
temporary ethnography exhibition.

manage to re-build the atmosphere from the time Romulus Cioflec activated.

were supported by the Local Council of Toplia and a few collaborators. The museum opened
to the public and the first exhibitions tool place on the 17th of July 1998. The museum is
housed in a former mansion of the noble family Urmanczy, built in 1906. The building that was
nationalized and used for the town hospital, until 1988, was entrusted for organizing a town
museum. The works for arranging the building began in 1989 and interrupted after 1990 were
resumed in the '70s, on the upper floor where the first exhibitions opened and where the
museum functions.
The exhibits include items illustrating the aspects on the traditional trades in the area of
Toplia: agriculture, animal breeding, shepherding, forestry, traditional crafts, hunting,
fishing, picking up from nature, objects illustrating the folk costumes, house decoration,
traditional installations, objects illustrating the specificity of spiritual life.

n partea rsritean a Europei i reprezentativ pentru arhitectura civil i militar medieval.

The museum is housed in the Royal Castle mentioned in documents for the first time in
1364. In 1409, Knez Voicu and his relatives got it from the King. Iancu de Hunedoara conducted
vast works in two stages between 1441 and 1456, at first by enlarging the military
fortification, then turning it into a sumptuous castle by works mostly in the Gothic style.
Matei Corvin continued the works after 1458, focusing upon the embellishment the existing
construction, as the influence of Renaissance bore fruit. The last construction stage took
place between 1618 and 1624 when Prince Gabriel Bethlen of Transylvania conducted the last
great constructions (the new tower of the gate and the Baroque palace on the east side -
currently with a neo-Gothic faade). In 1724, the castle became the property of the Austrian
treasury and stayed that way until 1880. That new role, after 1724, brought considerable
damage to the monument, including two fires, and the last one in 1854 turned it into a ruin.
It was later deserted until 1868, when a restoration began that lasted until 1914. It
underwent a new restoration stage between 1956 and 1968. After 1987, they started the
project of putting to good use the monument that is unique in the east part of Europe and
representative for the mediaeval civil and military architecture. The museum, established in
1974, at first comprised lapidarium pieces from the restoration works conducted on the
monument by the end of the 19th century and early 20th century.
Currently the museum holds archaeological collections - pottery, lithic, metal and bone
pieces, from the systematic excavation conducted in the area of Hunedoara, dating from the
Palaeolithic to the Middle Ages; ethnography collections - pieces and accessories of forest
workers, tools specific of the area; decorative art collections - pieces of sculpted furniture,
guild chests, ceramic and metal plates, wood and glass icons, canvases, wooden statues; coins
from the 16th - 19th centuries; military technique artefacts - weapons fro cutting, pushing,
hitting, and fire arms (most of them replicas).

The Museum of Iron is situated on the premises of S.C. Mittal Steel Hunedoara, on the left
bank of Cerna river, in a modern location near the highway. The Museum of the Iron was
established in 1974, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary from the commissioning of the first
modern furnace in Hunedoara. At first, although its inventory comprised an illustration in time,
from the origins up to the present day, of how iron processing and production technology evolved,
the museum was not included in a tourist program. As late as 1989, the SC Siderurgica SA
management decided to initiate the procedure to include the Museum of the Iron into the
national museum circuit. The Museum of the Iron may supplement any tourist track in the city
of Hunedoara with interesting information on the technological human society in this region. The
Museum of the Iron gathers interesting information on how iron processing and production
technology evolved from the Hallstatt to the present day. The Museum of the Iron clearly meets
the conditions of being a museum, as it focuses on the tradition of iron processing, the evolution
of iron processing technologies, as well as on the educational aspect. The museum comprises
more sectors, each of them presenting various moments in the history and evolution of iron
extraction and processing technology. The Dacian period exhibition illustrates iron extraction and
processing technologies, types of furnaces, tools, weapons and artefacts giving an image upon
how this trade spread in the Dacian Kingdom. The Daco-Roman period collection includes finds
from the area of Hunedoara, tools, weapons, types of furnaces. A model presents how the smithy
from the 2nd century uncovered at Teliuc used to be organized. There is also on display the cast
copy of the column uncovered in the workshop at Teliuc, proving the intense exploitation of iron
ore. The stand also contains an iron magnifying glass uncovered in the cemetery on Snpetru hill
in Hunedoara, next to pieces uncovered in the cemetery of the commune of Cinci. The Middle
Ages stand reflects the evolution of the iron extraction furnace from the 9th century on. There
is on display the model of the furnace from Valea Caselor - Ghelar and the photocopy after the
model presented in the Museum of Science and Technology in London. In this part there are on
display weapons, agricultural tools, smith's and miller's tools uncovered in the area of Hunedoara.
'Workshops from the 16th - 19th centuries' presents models of the workshops that functioned in
the region of Hunedoara (the workshops at Cerna, Plosca, Toplia, Perintei, Baia de Coase, Baia
de Sape, etc). 'The Beginnings of Modern Metallurgy' presents the moment when the Hunedoara
steelworks were founded officially (12th of June 1884), as well as a rich documentary material
on that period.

The building is erected between 1897 1898, by countess Haller Luise, in rustical style.
She had donated the plot, which includes the biggest commune cemetery lasting from the
fight of 31th of July 1849. The Memorial House contains an exhibition in the memory of the
great poet Peffi Sndor. There are documents, manuscripts, pictures from the author's live
and from the Revolution of 1848 1849, a model of the fight from the 31th July 1849, a
literary study in Romanian and Hungarian languages. In the garden and the park there are
monuments and statues. The house includes three exhibition rooms: the first room contains
documents about the period, the second room contains documents about Petfi Sndor's life
and the third room contains a model of the fight from Albeti on the 31st of July 1849,
documents, pictures, manuscripts. The park dates from the same period. The monument is
erected by Bossini brothers, known architects from Italy. On the top of the monument is
placed an eagle with a sword. The statue is created by the sculptor Kll Mikls. The
monument is a Hungarian national symbol for the fight for liberty. During the last decades the
Memorial House and the park was maintained by the families which have lived there. Since
1950 the Petfi Sndor Memorial Museum belongs to the History Museum Sighioara. Today the
museum belongs to Albeti Local Council. The museum cooperates with Petfi Sndor Cultural
Association from Albeti. Each year in the last Sunday of July the "Petfi Celebration" takes

The museum building is a historic monument and was erected in 1892. For a time it was
used as home and later on as professional school. It was restored between 1989 and 1990.
The museum was established by Anton Badea due to the desire of conserving and
presenting the monuments of architecture, technical installations and folk art artefacts of
the area. In 1970 the Reghin Ethnographic Museum became county museum, with the
designation of its research area, which exceeds the border of the Mure county and covers
several distinct ethnographic areas (604 rural settlements in the county of Mure and about
300 localities in neighbouring counties). The exhibits include artefacts relating to crafts,
costumes and customs specific of the Upper Valley of Mure, the Valley of Gurghiu and a part
of the Transylvanian Plain. The museum has over 5,800 artefacts, 13,000 photographs and
slides, 80 ethnographic movies. Technical installations prevail (oil press, watermill, wine
press).

The museum was established in 1951. In 1956, it was redesigned and extended, and in
1989, the current building became the main headquarter of the museum with three
exhibitions: ancient history, folk art and fine arts. The museum space has grown gradually.
Fine arts moved to a new location, in 6 Doja Street, in the former building of the National
Bank. The art department emerged in 1981, due to the donation from master Ioan Sima, a
painter, born in the commune of Pericei in Slaj county, and received the name of Art Gallery.
Until 1985, the exhibition room extended by the construction, as a prolongation of the
building, of new rooms and the emergence of a contemporary fine arts exhibition.
The museum collections include exhibits representing the fields: archaeology (the
Guruslu hoard, Bronze Age pottery, Dacian pottery from Buciumi; artefacts from the Roman
camp of Porolissum - Moigrad); history: tools, weapons, documents; ethnography and folk art
(textiles, costumes, thick long coats, shirt fronts, icons); entomology (Lepidoptera and
Coleoptera); a library (9,000 vols.). The museum owns goods listed in the National Cultural

The Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu is an institution renowned in Europe, counting
among the cultural landmarks of this country. Its collections were established by Baron Samuel
von Brukenthal (1721 1803), governor of Transylvania between 1777 and 1787. The museum
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Transilvania 337
www.cimec.ro
could receive visitors as early as in 1790, three years before Louvre Museum opened. The
official opening took place in 1817. Thus, it is the oldest museum in this country. The museum
received also the collections of the Carpathian Society Museum. In 1950 497 Romanian works
of art from the former Astra Museum were added. The museum comprises: Brukenthal Palace,
the Museum of History, the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Pharmacy History, the
"August von Spiess" Museum of Hunting, and the House of the Arts (the premises of the
temporary contemporary art exhibitions), the Contemporary Art Galleries and the Blue House.
The Art Gallery comprises the two permanent exhibitions, the Brukenthal Picture Gallery
Collections, and the National Art Gallery, while on the second floor there are the halls for
temporary exhibitions. Brukenthal Palace housing the museum is a Baroque monument, built
by Baron Samuel von Brukenthal. The main wing was built between 1778 and 1788. Sculptor
Sino Hoffmeyer worked at it. The Brukenthal Picture Gallery, whose exhibits were purchased
by the baron in Vienna, after 1750, holds and illustrates the Flemish-Dutch painting school
(450 items), the Italian one (200 items), the German-Austrian one (480), the French and
Spanish ones (20) from the 15th - 18th centuries. The National Art Gallery, whose collections
were gathered after 1950, from the ASTRA collections and the acquisitions made in time,
comprises reference works, illustrating the history of Romanian art from the 15th - 20th
centuries, including over 3,000 items.
The Stamp Room, founded by Baron Samuel von Brukenthal, is the oldest in this country.
It holds sketchings from the 16th - 18th centuries, as well as modern and contemporary
Romanian graphics, summing up over 12,000 items. The famous artists include Albrecht Drer,
Marcantonio Raimondi, Hendrick Goltzius, Agostino Carracci, J. Callot, G. Tiepolo, Piranesi.
The decorative art collection comprises over 600 items: furniture (about 200 pieces),
mowers and mediaeval silverware (61 artefacts), religious garbs made in Italy in the 14th -
15th centuries (20 items), Far East decorative art (120 items), mediaeval Oriental carpets (61
items). The library, available to researchers and students, preserves a rich book collection

The building housing the museum is a historic monument dating from 1568, bearing many
architectural elements specific of the period: vaulted spaces in the pavement and on the ground
floor, an open loggia on the ground floor, decorated with stucco at the ceilings and period
woodwork. Currently the museum spans the pavement of the building of 120 sq.m., currently
owned by the institution. This space functioned as a pharmacy from 1600 onwards. It was one
of the most famous Transylvanian pharmacies named "La Ursul Negru" ("Black Bears"). The
original museum collection emerged between 1950 and 1951 following a Health Ministry decree
regarding the gathering of all the pharmacy history vestiges from all the relevant institutions
in the country at Brukenthal Museum. The artefacts come from 70 old pharmacies,
pharmaceutical offices, medical institutions and private persons from 32 localities in the
country. The collection has been stored for 20 years. Due to the size and diversity of the
collection there are valuable testimonies on the evolution of pharmacy science and technology,
generally, and on the evolution of medication and pharmaceutical practice for over three
centuries. It comprises drugs, laboratory utensils, recipients, books and documents,
documentary graphics. O distinct component is the homoeopathical inventory (2,910 pieces) a
European rarity illustrating the high relevance of this therapy doctrine for Sibiu, the city where
Samuel Hahnemann, the founder, lived and worked.

The buildings housing the History Museum represent one of the most impressive
monuments of Gothic civil architecture bearing Renaissance elements. Originally meant to be
a dwelling place, Altemberger-Pempflinger House (in the shape of a dwelling-tower), was
purchased by the City Hall in 1549. From that year onwards until 1923 here functioned the
City Hall, and the city Archives pertaining to the German community until 1948. The
monument restoration works were conducted under the authority of the Historic Monuments
Division between 1967 and 1988, with intermittences. The restoration was intended to
emphasize the elements specific of Gothic architecture, as did also the rebuilding of the
upper floor of the dwelling tower, as well as the refurbishment of the space with a view to
turning it into a history museum. A marble plaque is embedded in front of the access gate to
the building, reading in Latin the visit paid to the City Hall by Emperor Joseph II in the
summer of 1773. The building with access to the ground and upper floors is adjoined by a
tower that belonged to the third defence precinct of the city. In the garden-courtyard there
is an elegant loggia made up of two bays. The museum collections emerged by the end of the
18th century, and many of the pieces were owned by the founder of the museum, Baron
Samuel von Brukenthal. His collections pertaining to the History Museum heritage include
coins, Dacian and Roman antiquities, as well as many pieces of high worth, from the
mediaeval and modern ages, including: mechanisms pertaining to various disciplines of science
and technology, musical instruments, decorative art objects (gold and silver ornaments),
porcelain, glassware, textiles, weapons and guilds products. After World War II, as some Sibiu
cultural institutions closed or were dismantled, the museum heritage grew considerably due
to the transfer to the museum of some collections existing in the city (the Carpathian Society,
the Weaponry Room of Sibiu, a part of the pieces from the Astra Association Museum), etc. In
1959 at Brukenthal Palace opened the History Department, in a too narrow a space for the
worth and diversity of the collections. In 1986, when the restoration works were completed,
two exhibitions opened, and in May 1988 the entire museum circuit was presented, according
to the compulsory themes of history museums. Between 1990 and 1992, the themes were
completely and fundamentally restructured, as the historical peculiarities of the region were
outlined. The permanent exhibition circuit and the storerooms include items illustrating the
following fields: ancient history, mediaeval history, both with a lapidarium, modern history,
as well as decorative art objects, textiles Period costumes), products of various Sibiu guilds,
weapons and armours, iron artefacts, glassware, coins, banknotes, Romanian and foreign
medals and decorations, etc. The permanent exhibition circuit comprises the following
collections: prehistorical archaeology and ancient history 8,177 pieces, mediaeval objects

In the spring of 1890 the Transylvanian Society for Natural Sciences in Sibiu, established in
1849, approached the issue of a building to shelter the collections. They asked for credits,
public contributions and subscriptions, and in 1894 the building was ready. It is a construction
bearing neo-Renaissance elements, designed by the Media architect Franz Maetz. Although
small-sized, it gives an impression of monumentality. It stands on three storeys (semi-
basement, ground floor and upper floor and originally had 16 rooms (today it has more rooms,
following partitioning). The building never housed any other institution but the museum.
There never was any original collection, but a heterogeneous gathering of natural history
items that lay the foundation for the subsequent great theme collections. Currently, the most
important heritage divisions are the following: mineralogy, petrography, palaeontology,
botany, zoology, documentary material (pictures, photographs, slides, documentary graphics).

ASTRA Museum was established in 1905 by the Transylvanian Association for the Literature
and Culture of the Romanian People. In 1950 it ceased to exist, and the collections were
transferred to the Brukenthal Museum. In 1963 the Museum of Folk Technology was
inaugurated, that functioned as an open air department of the Brukenthal Museum. In 1990,
the Folk Art departments and the Museum of Folk Technology became an independent
museum: the "ASTRA" Traditional Folk Civilization Museum. Currently it comprises of the open
air Department, the "Franz Binder" World Ethnography Museum (established in 1993), the
"Emil Sigerus" Saxon Ethnography Museum (1997), and the "ASTRA" Transylvanian Civilization
Museum. The Memorial Room dedicated to Cornel Irimie holds memories in connection with
the activity of the former director and founder of the open air museum, starting with 1953.

Muzeului Civilizaiei Transilvane "ASTRA" ca muzeu interdisciplinar i plurietnic i nelegerea
mecanismelor producerii interferenelor culturale, n condiiile convieuirii lor multiseculare,
a constat din schimbarea paradigmei muzeale. Dintr-un muzeu etnografic clasic, cu expuneri
de serii de obiecte, muzeul modern trebuie conceput ca un muzeu de istorie a civilizaiei,
accentul trecnd dinspre factologic spre fenomenologic, spre relaionarea i conexiunea
proceselor etnoculturale. Vizitatorul este invitat s caute i s descopere chipul unui ran

It presents two permanent exhibitions: "the open air ethnographic museum" and "the
monuments of architecture and folk technology". It illustrates virtually all the traditional
crafts with four exhibition themes sectors. It has gathered the most complex collection of
monuments of architecture and folk technology in Romania and a vast documentary-scientific
and technical archive on the world of folk technology. A manual tool system, of an impressive
typological variety, evidencing a permanence of life and material creation in this part of
Europe covers almost all the traditional crafts. The category "monuments of folk technology"
is outstanding by its wide range of themes of "the folk industry installations", having at the
end of the exhibition four large folk industry complexes (originating in Oltenia, Muntenia and
Ghidul muzeelor i coleciilor din Romnia, Transilvania 343
www.cimec.ro
Transylvania), and by an almost complete typology hard to find in a museum outside Romania.
The collection of mills is a unique case, as the 33 cereal mills present all the power mill
types known in the Euro-Asian space, which proves also the agrarian nature of the traditional
civilization of the Romanian people. The monuments of rural architecture present a diversity
of regional types.
Folk art is illustrated both in the decoration of the interiors, and in the workshops, as the
exhibits include textiles or pottery, wood or metal artefacts, amber objects or glassware,
functional furniture or religious items. The museum heritage comprises 143 monuments, 346
constructions and over 20,000 functional inventory items, being the largest richest museum in
Romania. This museum is first of all the repository of the heritage legacy of the "Association"
Museum (established in 1905 and dismantled by a communist decree in 1950). Its heritage
(moved to Brukenthal Museum in 1950) lay the foundation for the later "ASTRA" Museum of
Transylvanian Civilization.

The "Emil Sigerus" Museum of Saxon Ethnography was established on the 1st of July 1997.
Its heritage includes over 7,000 items from Transylvania from the 14th - 20th centuries. The
most relevant belonged to renowned collectors such as Emil Sigerus, Julius Bielz, Wilhelm and
Gisela Richter, Carl Engber and Erwin Ulbrich, completed by the acquisitions made by the
museum specialists. Most pieces had belonged to the first Saxon museum, "Karpatenmuseum"
(the Carpathian Museum), established in Sibiu.
The museum heritage comprises three collections, costumes-textiles, pottery, wood-bone-
iron, each of them including extremely valuable pieces, representative for the culture and
civilization of the Transylvanian Saxons and especially for their contribution to the growth and
enrichment of Romanian and world culture. The permanent exhibition "Transylvanian Store

Tiles (15th - 19th centuries), located in the pavement of the building in 12 Piaa Huet, is a
unique original attempt of presenting one of the representative crafts of the Saxon
community the manufacturing of store tiles (the store tiles collection is considered to be the
most complex valuable collection of this kind in the country and one of the richest in Europe;
it was first presented within the permanent exhibition opened in 1998). The archaeological
excavations conducted in 1996 revealed that in the place of the current building there was a
wooden house, dated on the basis of a coin from the reign of King Bela IV (1235-1270). The
