History

As a result of the persistent lobbying of the Székely Cultural and Economic Association, with government support and local donations, the construction of the museum began in 1890, based on the plans of the architect Kiss István. It was cmpleted by 1893. The facade's tympanum is decorated with the sculptures of Róna József, with King Attila on the throne in the centre, and with female figures representing Transylvania and Hungary on the right and left.
