                         The founder of Mures County 
                    Museum was Aurel Filimon. At the 1st of May 1021, The Town 
                    Hall from Tirgu Mures nominated him as the keeper of the Museum. 
                    The Museum from that time consisted in an archeology collection 
                    - made in 1882 by Ferenc Kovacs - a priest who, together with 
                    Farkas Deak made some diggings in Cristesti. In those times 
                    it was well-known a collectioner of archeological findings 
                    named Domokos Teleki, from Gornesti. In Apold was operating 
                    in those times, a Museum realized after the model of Brukenthal 
                    Museum from Sibiu, including a collection of furniture, ceramics 
                    and documents. We have to mention also, the Pinacoteca (Art 
                    Gallery) from the Palace of Culture, which was made in 1913. 
                         In 1921, the Museum from Tirgu 
                    Mures was holding an archeology collection and a ethno-popular 
                    art collection, constituted by Aurel Filimon. These collections 
                    composed the first permanent exhibitions of the museum. It 
                    was opened for the public in 1934 in the Palace of Culture. 
                    In present, the County Museum includes the following divisions: 
                    (Archeology-History, Arts, Nature Sciences, Ethnography and 
                    Popular Art). 
                         In the County's main localities, 
                    there are also some other museums like the History Museum 
                    from Sighisoara; The Ethnographic Museum from Reghin, The 
                    History Museum from Tirnaveni. Beside these, you can find 
                    in our county some memorial houses, church-museums and private 
                    collections. 
                         The museum collections are constituted 
                    from values of national cultural patrimony. The number of 
                    the museum objects increases every year, through donations, 
                    purchasing and collections. The staff of the museums consists 
                    in well trained personnel: scientific researcher, museologists, 
                    conservators etc. 
                         The Museum's patrimony is made 
                    in evidence through permanent, temporary or itinerary exhibitions, 
                    through congresses and national communication sessions as 
                    well as through articles and studies published in "Marisia" 
                    Year -Book. The Year-Book includes three fascicles: archeology-history, 
                    Etnography-Popular Art and Nature Sciences.
