Muzeul Național Secuiesc

The Szekler National Museum in Sfantu Gheorghe is the foremost museum devoted to the history and culture of the Szeklers, housed in a monumental building designed by the architect Karoly Kos, a landmark of the Hungarian national style of the early twentieth century. Its collections include archaeology, ethnography, art and history that illustrate the life of the Szekler community of south-eastern Transylvania across the centuries. Visitors discover traditional costumes, household objects, tools, documents and works of art that outline the identity of this region.

The building itself, with its broad roofs and decoration drawn from folk art, deserves admiration as a work of architecture. The museum is a central point of cultural life in Covasna county. Checking the schedule and any temporary exhibitions before visiting is recommended.
