History
The idea of establishing a Transylvanian Museum was born in the mind of Count Kemény József (1795-1855), who in 1842 offered his own collection of books, documents and minerals for the establishment of a museum. After his death, Count Mikó Imre (1805-1876) donated his villa in a 10-acre ornamental garden for the establishment of a museum. Thus, in 1859, the Transylvanian Museum was founded and the Transylvanian Museum Society was established to expand the exhibits. The Mikó villa soon proved cramped. Some of the exhibits were kept at the university. In 1930, the Romanian state bought the house of Petrichevich-Horváth Dániel, a patron of Hungarian theatre in Kolozsvár, and gave it to the university for use. In 1962, the History Museum was established, now known as the Transylvanian National History Museum.
