History
Its facade was built in the late 19th century in eclectic style, it bears a double coat of arms of the Count Nemes family of Hídvég and the Count Bethlen family of Bethlen. The building was built in 1781 by the grandson of Chancellor Bethlen Farkas, Bethlen Gergely, and was designed by Léder József. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1798 and rebuilt by Gergely's son Ferenc in 1799. In 1859, Bethlen Sándor gave one of the rooms free of charge to the library of the newly founded Transylvanian Museum Association (EME), managed temporarily by Mike Sándor. In 1872, the university took over the collection of the EME and the library was housed in the institution's central building. The collection of coins and antiquities had moved to the Mikó Villa earlier (1864). The archives, which had become independent of the library, were moved to the rear wing of the Nemes-Bethlen House in 1945, thanks to the wife of Baron Huszár Pál, Countess Nemes Polixénia. Soon after the EME was banned in 1949, the association's archives were taken over by the Academy of the Romanian People's Republic and, under the 1974 Archives Act, by the State Archives, which was located in the adjacent building.
