History

The museum was founded in 1849 by the Transylvanian Natural History Society (Siebenburgischer Verein für Naturwiessenschaften). By 1895 the present museum building was completed. The more than 1,000,000 objects on display were partly collected by the museum's specialists, partly donated to the museums.

The museum was built between 1894 and 1895 in the Italian Renaissance style.
