National Museum of Transylvanian History

The National Museum of Transylvanian History in Cluj-Napoca traces the region's past from prehistoric times through the Roman province of Dacia to the modern era. Its collections include Roman inscriptions and sculpture, medieval weapons, guild treasures, and coins, displayed in a historic building near the old town centre. Highlights cover finds from the Roman colony that preceded the city and rich material from Transylvania's Saxon and Hungarian communities. The museum is one of the most important research institutions in the country.
