History
The museum is located in the former headquarters of the Saxon Industrial Association (Gewerbeverein). In 1908, Saxon collectors from Brassó founded the Saxon Museum of Barcaság, which exhibited historical, natural and ethnographic material. In 1937, the ASTRA Romanian Cultural Association also opened a museum in Brassó. In 1948, the Communists, who came to power, expropriated the items that had survived the Second World War and founded the county museum.
In 1967, the ethnographic department of the county museum was established. In 1979, the department moved to the building still in use today, the Gewerbeverein House. On 11 June 1990, the Ethnographic Museum was separated from the County Museum and became an independent institution. At the same time, it took over the municipal ethnographic museums of Kőhalom, established in 1957, and Szecseleváros, established in 1970. In 2009, the section called the Museum of the Urban Civilisation of Brassó was opened. The museum presents life in the four ethnographic landscapes of Brassó county (Barcaság, the Fogaras Basin, Kőhalom area, Törcsvár area) from the 17th to the 20th century. On the ground floor of the building there is a permanent exhibition of traditional textile industry and Romanian rural traditions and temporary exhibitions. The same building houses the Brassó Museum of Fine Arts.
