History

Founded by the drawing teacher Haáz Rezső (1883-1958), the museum was based on the collection of the Reformed College from 1772, which was joined by the nearly 4,000 objects of his folk art collection. In 1990 it was merged with the town's 76,000-volume Science Library.

Its collection area covers the western parts of present day Hargits County, i.e. the areas along the two Homoróds, the upper reaches of the Nagyküküllő and Kisküküllő rivers. The population of this area is made up of the Székely people, the easternmost group of the Hungarian nation (together with the Csángó people).

The house was designed, built and lived in by the German architect Haberstumpf Károly (1857-1928), who built the family's summer residence in 1900. He is credited with the construction of several houses in the town and the surrounding area. The house was built in the German eclectic style.
