Tarisznyás Márton Museum


Some 400m east of Piaţa Libertăţii, the county museum is housed in an 18th-century baroque-style building, one of the oldest in town. The collection of Székely, Armenian and Romanian folk costumes is colourful to browse, and slightly more interesting than the collections of rocks and fossils.
