It's a great palace wonderfully restored and the concept vibrant and modern with displays, movies and plenty of text as well. The design is up to the highest standards and the gift shop had quite a few items to offer. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to bring more items on display and fill the, otherwise, mostly empty rooms. The outside yard is full of greenery and especially inviting on a hot summer day This Szekler National is one of the best museums in Romania, which belongs to Hungarian minorities. This stunning was built in 1913 by the star architect of that time Károly Kós who erected many impressive buildings, and he projected not only the marvelous buildings, but also their interior designs too. Before this was built, it's collection was gathered in a small village already in 1875 . People are usually shocked about the diversity of the collection which has natural, archeological, ethnographic, history and other important document about this region . For.example the Apor codex which is very old etc. I recommend this very much, and please hurry, because it will be closed to renovation soon. The Székely National is a captivating repository of Székely and Hungarian heritage, offering an in-depth look at the history, culture, and traditions of the Székely people. Located in a beautiful building with distinctive architectural features, the museum's extensive collection includes folk art, traditional costumes, historical artifacts, and fascinating exhibits on the region's past. The displays are thoughtfully curated, providing visitors with a comprehensive understanding of the Székely identity and its contribution to Hungarian culture. The museum’s atmosphere is both educational and inspiring, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those interested in the rich cultural tapestry of Transylvania. Beautiful architecture. Lots of culture to learn about the history of Covasna County and Sfântu Gheorghe City dating back from thousands of years ago. Highly recommended to take a guided tour. Nu se vorbeste limba română deși suntem în ROMÂNIA! Rușine Megújult a múzeum.es 2025 március 15-én ingyenes volt a belépés 🙂érdekes volt kiprobalji a sok újdonságot, interaktív eszközt-kicsit könnyebb voltegtapasztalni a múltat Unexpectly nice and very with their stuff. Worth a visit. Un muzeu superb ce merita vizitat! In prezent muzeul gazduieste mai multe expozitii permanente si o expozitie de pictura a unui pictor local. Pe langa exponatele incarcate istoric, sunt si foarte multe activitati interactive. Personalul din cadrul muzeului este foarte dragut si bine pregatit. Recomand oricui acest muzeu in care poti pierde usor notiunea timpului! Must see in Sfântul Gheorghe! The employees are helpful, really taking care of the place. A beautiful location, with great potential and some cool ideas for history lessons. Quite modern with AI-augmented displays, cool animations and depictions of historical moments. However, it's not done... The price is quite steep for how empty most of the rooms are. A lot of the displays are partly covered and presented as "teasers" for ongoing restorations. Most of the information is easily obtainable online. A wonderful experience in a historical newly renovated place with modern technology's. Thank you❣ The tour guide was great, he was very friendly and he explained everything about the with passion and enthusiasm. The building and the garden are beautiful. Vreau să uit ce-am văzut acolo... zik This is my Hometown and I’mvery proud of them that they kept a beautiful historical peace of our existence and the actual SZÉKELY who they are and were , lots to lear and see many pictures from when they were established in SepsiSzentgyorgy. A padlón lévő térbeli, fekete-fehér design kockák zavaróak voltak, mert a színük megegyezett a járólappal, így folyton beléjük botlottunk, mikor közelebbről szerettünk volna megnézni egy-egy kiállítási tárgyat. Am fost la muzeu in august si mi-a placut foarte mult!! Exponatele sunt interesante, nu stiam mare lucru despre secui, traditiile, obiceiurile si istoria lor. Exista si elemente interactive, casti si ochelari VR, exponate cu care poti interactiona direct. Ceea ce mi s-a parut ca lipseste: suvenirurile! Am incercat sa iau ceva amintire si pentru cei de acasa, insa in afara de niste carti, vederi si plase de bumbac, nu aveau nimic... In rest, totul a fost minunat! Interesting displays Nice things you can see Remélem, az én véleményemet nem tüntetik el, mint a kolléganőmét. Messziről utaztunk Sepsiszentgyörgyre és nagyot csalódtunk. Ezt a múzeumot nem volna szabad Székely Nemzeti Múzeumnak hívni, ugyanis az eredeti koncepciót tükröző, a székelység életét és történetét bemutató gyűjtemény a felújítás óta a múzeum raktárában porosodik, lehet, hogy örökre. Az alapítónő, akinek az egyik állandó kiállítást szentelték, bizonyára forog a sírjában, hogy így semmibe veszett a fáradozása. Összesen két állandó kiállítás van a múzeumban: az egyik az alapítónőről szól és a múzeumalapítás történetét mutatja be (vagyis a múzeumnak ez a része egy metamúzeum, hiszen magáról a múzeumról szól), a másik pedig az 1848-49-es forradalom és szabadságharc háromszéki vonatkozásait mutatja be. Ezek kiváló időszakos kiállítások lehetnének, de hol az eredeti gyűjtemény, amely az állandó kiállítás gerincét alkothatná? A múzeum nagy tudású és segítőkész alkalmazottja semmi jóval nem tudott bennünket biztatni a jövőre nézve. Az igényesen felújított Kós Károly-épületet és udvarát látva nem tudok másra gondolni, mint arra, hogy a gyűjtemény bemutatására már nem maradt pénz...
