Natural History Museum Sibiu
The Natural History Museum in Sibiu has its roots in the mid-19th century with the establishment of the Transylvanian Society for Natural Sciences in 1849. Initiated by German-Saxon intellectuals, the society aimed to promote a passion for naturalism, share discoveries, and educate the youth about nature and its conservation. As collections grew, the need for dedicated storage space became urgent. By 1890, plans for a purpose-built structure were formed, leading to the construction's commencement in 1894 and subsequent opening on May 12, 1895. The museum showcases Italian High Renaissance architecture across three levels, underwent complete renovation from 2006 to 2008, and offers a courtyard for relaxation and observation of various plant species.
