The Brukenthal National Museum is a group of museums in Sibiu. The core of this group is formed by the collections of European art, stamps, numismatics and books of Baron Samuel von Brukenthal, as well as the building built by the Baron to house them, the Brukenthal Palace. After nationalization, museums of various profiles gradually joined the group. The founder, Samuel von Brukenthal, was the Habsburg governor of Transylvania between 1778 and 1787. He began acquiring the first works for his collection in Vienna around 1754. In his will, the Baron ordered that his palace should function as a public museum in the future. He was thus one of the great Enlightenment figures of his time. The palace became a public museum in 1817. It was one of the first institutions of its kind in Europe.

The Brukenthal National Museum, housed in the palace built for Baron Samuel von Brukenthal, was the first museum to open on what is now Romania. Today, the museum displays various art forms from Europe, including a very rich collection of Transylvanian art.
