Museum of Archaeology, History and Art

Muzeul de Arheologie, Istorie si Arta Buzău este principala instituție muzeală din județul Buzău. Bazele sale au fost puse de către Basil Iorgulescu și dezvoltarea colecțiilor a determinat mai multe etape de extindere. Actualul sediu este al treilea. Din 1977 până în prezent este adăpostit în clădirea fostei Școli de Fete. Clădirea, construită între 1931 și 1937, este inclusă în lista monumentelor istorice, numărându-se printre cele mai impunătoare construcţii ale orașului.

Permanent exhibitions were opened here in 1980-1981, and were subsequently modified and updated in 1986, 1990, 1999-2001, 2004, 2015-2017. The newest project was implemented after the complete restoration of the building (realized between 2010-2015, based on the financing of 36,906,590 lei / 8,201,464 Euros offered through the Regional Operational Program 2007-2013).

In the 1980s and 1990s, the museum's collections became substantially richer as a result of archaeological research, acquisitions and donations. In addition to the consistent history and archeology collections, the museum fund has grown permanently, enriching itself with goods of ethnographic, artistic, numismatic value and in the field of mineralogy and natural sciences.

Under the auspices of the institution, a series of books ("Biblioteca Mousaios"), 2 annual scientific bulletins ("Mousaios" and "Annals of Buzăului"), catalogs and monographs were published, the result of the scientific research activity carried out within the museum institution.
