History

In 1891, the former Welauer House was rebuilt in order to house the collections of the Historical and Archaeological Society, founded in 1872 by Ormós Zsigmond, the ispán of Temes County. The objects collected by them form the basis of the Museum of Bánság (Banat Museum). The Public Library was housed here from 1941 and the Library of the Romanian Academy from 1953. Of its original reliefs, only Minerva's has survived for posterity.
