History
In the 18th century, three former houses were merged to form the White Horse Inn, the town's most important inn. In the early 19th century, the inn was extended with a spacious ballroom. The great hall was used for public meetings, negotiations, balls and concerts. Johanes Brahms, Liszt Ferenc, Bartók Béla and George Enescu also gave concerts here.
On 30 May 1848, the Parliament of Transylvania proclaimed the reunion with Hungary here, which was also blessed by the Greek Catholic Bishop Ioan Lemeni on behalf of the Transylvanian Vlachs. This was eventually thwarted by the defeat of the Hungarian War of Independence, but it was also here that the Transylvanian Parliament proclaimed reunification with Hungary on 9 December 1865. A commemorative plaque was placed on the wall in 1898. The plaque was removed by the invading Romaians in 1919. In 1859, the Transylvanian Museum Association held its inaugural meeting here. The Transylvanian Ethnographic Museum moved in in 1958.
