"The National Brukenthal Museum in Sibiu is well-known as an institution of European prestige and one of the greatest Romanian museums. Its collections were constituted by baron Samuel von Brukenthal (1721-1803), governor of Transylvania between 1777-1787. In 1790 - three years before the Louvre was opened - the collections of Samuel von Brukenthal could be visited. The official opening of the museum took place on the 25th of February 1817; it is the first museum in Romania that has been functioning ever since." Welcome to the National Brukenthal Museum!
