Arad Museum Complex Arad

The Museum Arad

The Museum Arad was opened in 1893, as an exhibition of Relics of the Revolution from 1848, in the lobby from the 2nd floor of the local State Theatre. Two decades later, the museum has been moved into the new built Cultural Palace (1913), along with the philharmonic and town library. Besides the old relics exhibition, archeological and medieval history collections were put on display and an European art gallery has been opened as well. In the inter-war period these have been completed with an ethnography exhibition and two memorial rooms dedicated to the local politicians Vasile Goldis and Stefan Cicio-Pop (1934).
Today, the museum manages a collection of over 125.000 pieces, being an active actor on the Arad cultural scene, assuming a reformative role.
