The palatial home of the Habsburg governor of Transylvania, Samuel von Brukenthal, is the headquarters for a museum with a few locations around Sibiu.

This institution was first founded using Brukenthal’s personal collections more than 200 years ago.

His residence holds the Brukenthal Art Galleries, replete with German, Flemish, Dutch, Italian, French and Spanish painting from the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo periods.
