Ethnographical Museum of Transylvania

Was pretty disappointed with this place. It only cost 10 lei to enter, which is nice, but they tried to charge another 5 lei to take photos, which is ridiculous to me. A lot of the items didn’t have any information, or if they did it was only in Romanian. I only spent 10-15 minutes here, and as someone who loves museums I think this can be a skip

A really interesting museum with a wide variety of exhibits showcasing the culture, traditions, and history of Transylvania. The displays are detailed and well-presented, making it easy to learn and appreciate the heritage of the region. The staff were welcoming, and the ticket price was reasonable. Overall, a great place to spend a couple of hours and definitely worth a visit.

It was lovely, clean, organized, but... No explanations. Just a note what the item is & from when & where. All the multimedia was out of order The VR was a nice idea but since all explanations were it Romanian I couldn't get them to work & no one offered help. I expected much more!!! Nice 30 minutes but could have been much much much more.... Tickets are bought at the 1st floor. 10 lei for adults

A surprise for us and also for our kids. We visited a rock exhibition and then we saw a Lego exhibition. But passing through the Lego stands we watch with a big curiosity over the daily exposition. All was Great!

Superb ethnographic museum. Probably the best in Romania. Interesting quality exhibits and informational. The staff is friendly. Couldn’t get VR headset to work but since it’s rare to even see those , it wasn’t a big deal. Back to the manual tools for me.

I visited the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania with a group of friends who love folk traditions, and it was an eye-opening experience. The indoor exhibits showcase an extensive collection of traditional costumes, tools, and household items that tell the story of rural life in Transylvania. But the real highlight for me was the open-air museum section in Hoia, where authentic traditional houses are arranged as a village. It felt like stepping back in time, and the peaceful forest setting added to the immersive experience. Many visitors praise the museum for its rich cultural heritage and engaging displays, and I felt it truly captures the spirit of the region. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, ready to answer questions and share stories. For anyone interested in culture, history, or architecture, this museum offers a deep dive into Transylvanian traditions that you won’t find elsewhere. My family loved the peaceful walks between the houses and the chance to learn about local crafts.

Nice visit, I was looking for a big collection of Romanian Traditional outfits, but they didn’t have that much. Great customer service, the lady who works at the ticket office and the lady working at the gift shop were very nice.

Tiny but representative museum where one can get to know the ethnic diversity of Romania in 18-20th centuries. The variety of traditional clothes impressed me. There was also an art exhibition by a modern artist who reinterpreted the Christian motives. It’s a quick and simple way to get a brief overview of Romanian culture, so I definitely can recommend.
