Muzeul deține o colecție generoasă de păpuși îmbrăcate în porturi românești, săsești și țigănești, acestea fiind principala atracție. Încă de la intrare se pot observa câteva exponate așezate pe pervazul unui geam. Încăperea unde se află obiectele tradiționale este împărțită în două parți și anume, partea săsească și partea românească. „Am colecționat tot mai mult pentru că aveam senzația că dispare o lume, o lume veche, o lume a regulilor și a disciplinei” spune doamna Maria. Majoritatea obiectelor provin de pe Valea Hârtibaciului și din satul Săsăuș, satul de proveniență al colecționarei. Muzeul poate fi găsit pe Calea Gușteriței, nr. 54 B, iar intrarea este gratuită pentru oricine dorește să facă o mică incursiune în vremuri cu un farmec aparte și este curios să afle povești atât din viața comunității românești, cât și din cea săsească. Programul de vizitare este zilnic între orele 10-12 și 15-19, însă familia Drăgan este dispusă și dornică să primească vizitatori și în afara orarului.     sursa foto: Răzvan Negru sursa text

Inaugurated in 1993, the "Franz Binder" Museum is the first and single museum of extra-European ethnography in Romania. The museum is organised in a historical monument building, built in the Neo-Gothic style between 1865 and 1867, initially as the headquarters for the Small Craftsmen Association and having various other functions over time. After its restoration in 1989 it became the headquarters of the "Franz Binder" Museum. The collections of the "Franz Binder" Museum (approx. 3000 exhibits) are divided into “old” ethnographic collections composed of exhibits donated during the second half of the 19th century and “new” collections which entered in the museum’s patrimony after 1990. The oldest collections are among the most valuable ones. They come from various parts of the world – the African continent being widely represented – and they were mainly collected on the field by members of the local and regional community and then donated to the Sibiu Association of Natural Sciences in Ardeal.

The permanent exhibition of Romanian Art was opened in the halls of the Blue House on November 25th, 2009. The exhibition circuit follows the painting evolution in Romania during the 18th – 20th century, based on chronologic and stylistic elements on display. The exhibition concept comparatively and synchronically emphasizes the representative artists of the national art and what it is specific to the Brukenthal collection: Transylvanian painting background (one of the richest of the country) completed with highly valued works of the modern and inter-war Romanian painting, until after the middle of the 20th century. Thus, the selection underlines the influences which the European art had over the national art, the interferences of the two artistic environments but also its specificity / originality. Without ignoring the creation of the Transylvanian painters Johann Martin Stock, Franz Neuhauser, Mişu Popp, Carl Dörschlag, Arthur Coulin or Octavian Smigelschi, who overreach with the charm and the unprecedented picturesque of their works, the new exhibition, based on the criterion of value, offers to the visiting public established works created by the following artists: Theodor Aman, Nicolae Grigorescu, Ion Andreescu, Ştefan Luchian, Hans Mattis-Teutsch, Corneliu Mihăilescu, Gheorghe Petraşcu, Theodor Pallady, Nicolae Tonitza, Alexandru Ciucurencu, Corneliu Baba, Ion Ţuculescu

The Brukenthal Museum is a special institution because it is the first museum established in Romania and Central Europe, in 1817. It owes its existence to one of the most important personalities in Transylvania: Baron Samuel von Brukenthal, the governor of the province in the second half of the eighteenth century.  The Brukenthal Palace and the Baron's collections are the core of today's Brukenthal National Museum, its gates opened to the public since its founding by the testament of its founder.  A visit to the museum is not limited to a single building and to a unique specialization: it becomes a journey presenting multiple aspects of the past and the present, in their metamorphosis. A metamorphosis mirrored into a wide array of objects displayed on 10,000 m2 of exhibitions, of which 5,500 represent new and recently refurbished spaces.  Initially displaying the European painting collection of Baron Samuel von Brukenthal in a single building, today the museum hosts a great diversity of valuable collections in nine buildings. Five of them are palaces built at different times: the earliest building (with foundation elements from the 13th century) is part of the architectural complex hosting the History Museum, while the latest is from 1901, hosting the Contemporary Art Gallery.

Among them there are locomotives with wide track spacing and for narrow-gauge railway, the so-called funicular railway (narrow-gauge railway trains, which used to cross mountain areas). Two of these locomotives are functional and used on various occasions. On December 31st, 2000, the locomotives were declared, by order to the minister of culture, treasury patrimony, being protected by the law.
