Text from the exhibition curator: The Brukenthal National Museum is organizing the cultural project “The Road of the Collections at the Museum of Natural History”. The project as a whole is a forerunner of the 120 years anniversary in 2015 from the public opening of the museum which has become the promoter of Transylvanian naturalism. The project includes cultural events which focus on rediscovering the city through the perception of the museum. The project also includes drafting a map which traces the road followed by the different collections up to the point where they reached the Museum of Natural History, organizing a temporary exhibition and guided tours of the cultural paths of the collections, publishing a catalogue and marking the main objectives on the road with QR code plates. The first event of the project will take place on the 16th of May at 12 AM when the temporary exhibition “The Road of the Collections at the Museum of Natural History” will be opened to the public. The visitors will follow an imaginary path throughout a time-span of 46 years, a period during which the collections of the Transylvanian Society for Natural Sciences (Siebenbürgischer Verein für Naturwissenschaften zu Hermannstadt) were gathered and brought to Sibiu. At that time the pieces of the collection did not have a distinct domicile so that several locations were used as shelter. The opening event is not only an invitation to learn more about the heritage of the museum but also about the architectural and cultural heritage of the old town of Sibiu. The opening of the exhibition will be preceded by a guided tour, focusing on Transylvanian naturalism, starting at the museum and going through the old town. The exhibition will be opened to the public from the 16th of May until the 31st of October 2014.
