by Fam_Stoica The Brukenthal Palace is one of the most remarkable monuments in late baroque style in Romania. It was erected between 1778-1788 as an official residence for Samuel von Brukenthal and as a shelter for his collections. Some of its specific elements are the decorum of the façade with the Brukenthals coat of arms, garlands, rosettes, stone flower bunches, artistic carpentry, wall-cotton and silk, locksmiths elements (door handles, door bolts), faience stoves and candelabras . Today, the Brukenthal Palace houses the Art Gallery and the Brukenthal Library. Address: 4-5 Piata Mare, 2400 Sibiu, România. Tel : +40 69 211699; Fax :+40 69 211545; Opening hours : 9 - 17, Monday closed. The Brukenthal Museum is one of the greatest Romanian museums. Its collections were constituted by baron Samuel von Brukenthal (1721-1803), governor of Transylvania between 1777-1787. In 1790 (three years before the Louvre was opened) the collections of Samuel von Brukenthal could be visited. The official opening of the museum took place on the 25th of February 1817; it is the first museum in Romania that has been functioning ever since. Leave a Comment Phone: +40 69 211699

 Sickle Man by Dabs When driving through the rural areas of Romania, seeing a man carrying a sickle or other farming implement became a quite common sight but I was a little surprised when I saw this guy walking down the street in Sibiu with a sickle over his shoulder. Notice that I'm on the other side of the street :-) Leave a Comment

by tiganeasca This is the entrance to the Brukenthal Museum, named after baron Samuel von Brukenthal, governor of Transylvania from 1777 to 1787. The Museum includes a large collection of paintings, antiques, coins, and rare books. The Art Gallery was opened to the pubolic 1817 with over 1,000 paintings from Brukenthal's personal collection. The Art Gallery is particularly strong in the Flemish and Dutch schools. There is also an Ethnography and Folk Collection, including significant collections in pottery, textiles and fabrics, and folk costumes, among other things. Leave a Comment
