Museums under the spotlight - the National Museum of Art of Romania
In the century of great touristic migrations, the museums are a fascinating channel of communication. The museums can be a bridge between the past, the present and the future and can also be a source of inspiration for life and creation, for introspection and love for beauty and culture.
“Museums under the spotlight” is an open invitation for everyone, to enter a world of mystery and history, that lets the imagination run free. Beyond the images presented in the show, we invite you to discover, feel experiment and live on your own a visit to the museum.
History is an anchor, to know who you are means recognition and continuity, certainty and belonging and “Museums under the spotlight” wishes to tell you stories about monuments with historical, artistic and architectural value included in the national cultural heritage of Romania, stories about human treasures, about masterpieces, legends and everything that represents true beauty in Romania.
“Museums under the spotlight” invites you to make your life a beautiful story!

Cluj-Napoca, Romania - unofficial capital of Transylvania
Cluj-Napoca, commonly known as Cluj, is the second most populous city in Romania, after the national capital Bucharest, and the seat of Cluj County in the northwestern part of the country. Located in the Someșul Mic River valley, the city is considered the unofficial capital to the historical province of Transylvania. From 1790 to 1848 and from 1861 to 1867, it was the official capital of the Grand Principality of Transylvania.
The city spreads out from St. Michael's Church in Unirii Square, built in the 14th century and named after the Archangel Michael, the patron saint of Cluj-Napoca. It is home to universities, vibrant nightlife and landmarks dating to Saxon and Hungarian rule. Surrounding its central square, Piața Unirii, is the Gothic-style St. Michael's Church and a dramatic statue of the 15th-century king Matthias Corvinus. The baroque-era Bánffy Palace is now a museum showcasing Romanian art.
Cluj-Napoca experienced a decade of decline during the 1990s, its international reputation suffering from the policies of its mayor at the time. Today, the city is one of the most important academic, cultural, industrial and business centres in Romania. Among other institutions, it hosts the country's largest university, Babeș-Bolyai University, with its famous botanical garden; nationally renowned cultural institutions; as well as the largest Romanian-owned commercial bank. In 2015, Cluj-Napoca was European Youth Capital.
