Brukenthal National Museum is located in the Large Square in the historical centre of Sibiu, being the most visited museum of this fascinating town. The Museum is located in the Brukenthal Palace, a gorgeous building erected from 1778 to 1788 in the style of the Viennese palaces by Baron Samuel de Brukenthal, the Governor of Transylvania at that time. The palace was built to serve as a residence for the Governor thus enabling him to initiate these collections that make the Brukenthal Museum so famous today.
