Living Legacy
Anniversary, Festive Hall, Music
On this day, we simultaneously celebrate the museum's birthday, commemorate the legacy of our founder, Emília Csereyné Zathureczky, and recall the memory of Béla Bartók's concert in Sepsiszentgyörgy.
What happens to us when we look searchingly, when we glide from image to image, from a visual detail to another, from visible to visible? What must and can be shown of this permanent digestion?
Marco Trentin
Distinguishing marks
The exhibition explores the tension between identity and identification. Marco Trentin begins with the traits through which an individual becomes recognisable, describable and catalogued, while asking what remains beyond the narrow frameworks of identification.
Székelys
Patterns of Heritage
Who are the Székelys, in essence? What do we know of Székely Land? What notions and beliefs persist about them, and to what extent do these reflect reality? How do those living in Székely Land perceive themselves?
The permanent exhibition of the museum invites visitors on a comprehensive journey through time, set out to present the noble lifestyle of Háromszék, the history of the castle, and the regional equestrian culture.
Mrs. Cserey – 200
We Are Reborn!
How did a noblewoman manage to establish a museum? Who was Emília Zathureczky Cserey? Is her name only associated with the establishment of the museum, or are there other social and cultural events linked to her?
Geniuses behind the heroes
Háromszék in the 1848–1849 War of Independence
Our exhibition aims to commemorate the community solidarity that arose in the autumn of 1848, focusing on the episodes that led to the establishment of its most crucial elements, the military industry and the cannon casting.
In our exhibition entitled Milestones, we present an outline of the museum's journey beginning with its founding to the present day through a selection of unique, one-of-a-kind objects selected from its vast collection.
