National Museum of Transylvanian History, Cluj-Napoca

The National Museum of Transylvanian History is a museum that features a permanent exhibition, as well as temporary exhibitions, the "Tezaur" exhibition, and Pharmacy Historical collection. This last exhibit opened in the Hintz House, a historic building in the city's centre. The beginnings of the museum date back to the 19th century (1859) when the Society of the Transylvanian Museum was founded, featuring collections of antiquities, botanics, zoology and mineralogy. In 1929 the collection of artifacts was transferred to the Institute of Classical Studies. After several additional moves caused by lack of space, the collection was reopened in 1937 at its current location in Piaţa Muzeului, in the center of Cluj-Napoca.
