History

The Mikó Garden was once the property of Count Mikó Imre of Hidvég. He donated his vast garden to the Transylvanian Museum Association, which he founded. This is commemorated by the statue of Mikó Imre in the garden. Here you can see the Count's summer residence decorated with columns, built by Count Bethlen Lajos in 1840. The property, together with the garden, became the property of Governor Count Teleki József, from whom Mikó Imre bought it. The Transylvanian Museum Association established a botanical garden in the garden, and the house was home to the Institute of Zoology. Opposite it is the Institute of Chemistry, built in 1882 based on the plans of Kollenheyer Ferenc. The botanical garden disappeared in the 1960s and was replaced by student dorms. The building behind the summer residence, erected in 1907-1908, now houses the Zoological Museum.
