The manor, as well as the whole village, belonged to the Apafi noble family. In the 18th century, when they had no more heirs, the manor has been taken over by the Bethlen noble family. Throughout time, the Apafi house has been changing its shape and was several times renovated in 1830 the owner of the time, Graf Haller. In 1920 the manor was transfered to the Saxon community, then transformed into the cultural house of the village, then seized by communists in 1949. After discovering in the archives of the Hungarian state several detailed inventories that marked the changes brought to the Mâlâncrav estate between 1679 and 1778, German architect Jan Hulsemann and contractors Fritz Klutsch and Ernst Linzing brought the manor back to its original 18th century aspect, using traditional techniques and materials. Once the architecture and finishes were restored, British designer David Mlinaric was in charge of the interior design, respecting the same spirit: most of the objects inside the rooms of the manor – weave work, lace work, furniture pieces and ironware – are of local provenience, either originally found inside the manor, or brought from the nearby villages.

Ferma Scoala Cornatel este in primul rand un centru educational. Un loc in care cei mici, si de ce nu si cei mari, pot interactiona cu toate rasele de animale pe care le avem. Ferma-scoala este o asociatie non profit pentru protectia animalelor si pregatirea acestora pentru a interactiona cu copiii. Este un concept relativ nou in Romania, insa foarte popular in alte tari, in special in Marea Britanie, unde gradinitele si scolile l-au imbratisat cu entuziasm, ca pe o alternativa la invatamantul clasic. Animalele domestice si pasarile de curte, pe care copiii le vedeau pana acum doar in manualele scolare, devin aici parteneri de joaca, iar copiii vor fi fericiti sa le vada in realitate, sa le hraneasca sau sa le mangaie. Aici, alaturi de personalul fermei, ii vom invata pe copii ABC-ul convietuirii cu natura, cunoasterea plantelor si a animalelelor. E un loc in care va veni cu drag si unde va reveni cu placere, pentru ca aici poate invata distrandu-se.

O livadă biodiversă  Nu știm câte livezi din România se pot mândri cu astfel de cifre: peste 215 specii de plante, 100 de specii de păsări şi 30 de specii de mamifere.  În satul Mălâncrav din județul Sibiu se află livada de 108 hectare, menţionată din sec. XVII, în care cresc soiuri vechi de meri, peri, pruni şi nuci.  Livada a fost abandonată după anul 1990, ajungând în pragul distrugerii. MET a refăcut colecţia de pomi fructiferi, a reabilitat livada şi vechea fabrică de procesare a sucului.  A fost introdusă o tehnologie ecologică de cultivare a pomilor şi procesare a fructelor, livada obţinând certificare ecologică. În prezent, fabrica produce anual circa 20.000 litri de suc 100% ecologic.  Sucul este comercializat în restaurante, magazine și târguri tradiţionale. Livada asigură sătenilor locuri de muncă permanente sau sezoniere.  Livada găzduiește o pepinieră cu soiuri vechi transilvănene de pomi fructiferi, aflate pe cale de dispariţie, asigurând o bază de puieţi şi altoiuri fermierilor şi contribuind la susţinerea agriculturii tradiţionale. #MET20 #ConstruimPeTrecutPentruUnViitorSustenabil  #DezvoltareaAntreprenoriatuluiLocal *sursa: https://www.facebook.com/MihaiEminescuTrust/

Whether we are talking about Romanian, Saxon, other minority or even extra-European heritage, the ASTRA Museum is the keeper and the provider of the authentic values ​​to the community.

Muzeul de Artă Contemporană al Muzeului Naţional Brukenthal menţine o poziţie importantă în zona spaţiilor de promovare a artei contemporane româneşti, reprezentând o puternică alternativă la tendinţa unică susţinută de Muzeul Naţional de Artă Contemporană din Bucureşti, având un caracter orientat spre public, spre o selecţie şi o prezentare cât mai liberă şi mai inovatoare a expoziţiilor.  Începând din anul 2014, spațiului destinat expozițiilor temporare aflat la parterul clădirii, i s-a adăugat depozitul vizitabil de artă contemporană, amenajat la etajul I și etajul al doilea al clădirii iar în anul 2019 a fost deschisă o nouă sală de expoziții temporare. Depozitul vizitabil promovează un concept mai puțin cunoscut în România. Piesele sunt prezentate deopotrivă în manieră specifică depozitării (în special lucrările de pictură) cât și liber.   La momentul definitivării procesului de amenajare, pe coridoarele clădirii puteau fi admirate 34 de piese de mari dimensiuni – sculpturi în bronz, lemn și piatră, iar în sala situată la etajul I erau expuse 205 de picturi, 15 tapiserii și 95 de piese tridimensionale.  La etajul al II-lea se află o sală cu perete de sticlă, ce oferă vizitatorului posibilitatea unei perspective de ansamblu asupra depozitului situat la etajul I. 

"Emil Sigerus” Saxons Folk Art and Ethnography Museum is one of the units of "ASTRA" National Museum Compound, founded in 1997, along with the opening of the fundamental exhibition “Transylvanian Tiles. 15th – 19th centuries.”, with the purpose of preserving and promoting the material and immaterial patrimony belonging to the Transylvanian Saxons minority. "Emil Sigerus" Saxons Folk Art and Ethnography Museum took over the ethnographic patrimony owned by the Carpathian Museum (1895-1920). An important role in the improvement of the museum patrimony was that of collector Emil Sigerus, who donated over 500 valuable items, including textiles, painted furniture, glass, tin, silverware, but especially Transylvanian ceramics. The patrimony of "Emil Sigerus" Museum currently has over 8.900 pieces, structured in three collections: ceramics, costumes – textiles – embroideries and painted furniture. Since 2007, the headquarters of the museum operates inside the House of Arts, rehabilitated historic monument, documented mention in 1370.

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 Pharmacy History Museum was opened for visitation in 1972, its foundation being based on the long history of the pharmacy in Sibiu, because the first pharmacy on the Romanian territory was documented here (1494). The building of the museum is located in the Small Square at no. 26, representing an architectural historic monument that contains gothic and renaissance elements, dating since 1568. This building housed one of the oldest pharmacies of Sibiu, La Ursul Negru (At the Black Bear), founded around the year 1600. The collections of the museum include over 6.600 pieces that present the evolution of medication and pharmaceutical techniques over the years. The sectors with exhibits of the museum are divided as follows: Dispensary – the traditional component of a pharmacy, where the medicinal products are displayed. The furniture of the room was manufactured in Vienna in 1902 and it belonged to the old pharmacy La Vulturul Negru (At the Black Eagle) of Sibiu. Laboratory – where the following are displayed: medical balances, brass, cast iron and marble mortars, crushing and pulverizing machines, pieces for tablets and suppositories, percolators for medicinal plants tinctures, ceramic and metallic containers, melting pots, measuring tin cups, sieves, filters and laboratory glassware. The Collection of Homeopathy exemplifies the homeopathic therapy tradition in Sibiu, Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of the therapeutic doctrine, lived and was active in Sibiu between 1777 and 1779, as physician and secretary of Baron Samuel von Brukenthal, Governor of Transylvania.  The Collection includes over 2.900 pieces, namely kits and bottles of homeopathic recipes, which were taken over from the former apothecary La Înger (At the Angel) in Sibiu.

The History Museum is accommodated by the Altemberger-Pempfflinger House, located on 2nd Mitropoliei Street, headquarters of the City Hall of Sibiu during 1545 and 1948. The ten wings of the building, plus a guard tower, represent the most impressive civil gothic architecture ensemble of Romania and even of South-Eastern Europe. The construction was built by the team led by the stonemason Andreas Lapicida, at the end of the 15th century, upon the guidance of Thomas Altemberger. The oldest part is the tower-house, its construction being initiated at the end of the 13th century. The exhibitions that can be seen here are structured as follows:  - Evolution of human communities of the South of Transylvania, displaying the day to day life during the Palaeolithic, offering an image of life in caves, cottages, households, Roman villa, medieval house;  - Glass in Transylvania and Guilds of Sibiu, depicting human activities from wind processing to specialized production of the guilds;  - Roman lapidary and the Magistrate of Sibiu, evoking the social status and dignity of the leader;  - Weapons and armours, indicating other essential aspects of human existence in these places, such as war or the ritual aspect of religion;  - Thesaurus, containing liturgical silverware pieces.  The touristic exhibition circuit ends with the presentation of the national emancipation movement of the Southern Transylvania, displaying events during the 17th and the 20th centuries. 

The natural history museum was founded in 1849, at the initiative of the Natural Sciences Transylvanian Society, society constituted with the purpose of spreading its discoveries to the community and educating the younger generation about the knowledge and preservation of nature. The headquarters of the Natural Sciences Transylvanian Society was built according to the project of the Architect C.W. Friedrich Maetz of Cluj, the festive inauguration taking place on May 25th, 1895. The building was built in the late Italian Renaissance style, having three stories (underground, ground floor and first floor). The collections of the museum integrate approximately 1.100.000 pieces from different domains such as geology, palaeontology, botany and zoology. We can see here: the herbarium of J. Lerchenfeld (17th century); the herbarium of M. Fuss (1834-1882); the ornithological collection of F. W. Stetter (1853), including indigenous and exotic birds; the ethnographic collection of Palestine, Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia of the vice-consul Franz Binder; the Ackner minerals collection; the entomological collection of Dr. Eugen Worell (1957), including insects from Europe, Africa, America and Asia; the butterflies collection of Weindel (1965); the insects collection of H. Hannenheim (1964); the Breckner paleontological collection (1955), mainly including shark teeth of the tertiary collected from Porceşti region (Turnu Roşu); the Nyárádi botany collection (1980); the mineral collection of Dr. E. Bielz (1953); Kimakowicz malacology collection. Since December 21st, 2007, the Natural History Museum of Sibiu displays the most modern natural history exhibition of Romania, the new configuration conferring a special importance to the diorama exhibition, the pieces being displayed in order to reproduce the habitat of each animal within an ecosystem. The garden was set up as a relaxation area for the visitors, but also as an area where one can see common and rare species of plants, such as trees and ornamental scrubs.
