This museum is pointless. You've got like two rooms of 16th century dresses and jewelery, then suddenly like three rooms with photos of king Ferdinand on a hunt in 1920, that nobody asked for (seriously, like 30 almost identical photographs). Then finally something about the ancient Dacia. Sadly, most of the multimedial devices barely work (like the ridiculous screen showing somebody photoshoping an ancient coin?). And this part is the only one that has some meaning. Sadly minute later you are being surprised with 6 rooms of... History of photography in Romania. Once again, nobody asked for that. Most exibits are described only in Romanian. Medieval Saxons have seemingly disappeared from the history, and the whole museum looks like Transylvania has no history at all. Wasted time.

It was honestly kind of lacking in things to see. Only 2 expositions to see. This is mostly due to the renovations though so I have high hopes for a full museum. The expositions themselves were very interactive and fun, showing the true colors of the respective era( communism and antiquity were the two expeditions available). The price was good when it came to tickets and taking photos was free. Overall, a great experience, albeit there was only enough for half an hour of visiting.
Not very interesting and nothing in English
Wonderful place for knowledge
The main collection is not available right now due to the reconstruction works going on, but the small temporary exhibition can be seen on the second floor, the admission is free.
Unfortunately part of it was closed for renovations, but what I had been able to see was great, especially loved the expo in the attic, had a mystical air to it, very nice installation!
A lot of images of people with little details, the display should have been in English too, in anycase this party of the world has a very colorful history but was lost in the thoughts of showcasing how the people looked rather than how they lived, which was very brief. Romanian and transylvania has a lot of cultures very different to anywhere else but little attention was given to that
I visited this museum a few years ago and did enjoy the items of historical interest on display. I especially enjoyed the photographic details of old Romania/Hungry. One must remember that this are of Romania was in Hungary for most of its history. I also to displays of pottery and farms were very well done. I hope that they continue to show these after the renovation.
