National Museum of Banat

The National Museum of Banat is a regional museum in Timișoara that displays archaeological finds, historical objects, and natural science collections. The exhibitions are spread across several halls and present items from different periods of local history.

The museum was founded in 1872 and started as a collection in a building connected to local church history. Over time, the collection grew and the museum became an important institution for preserving regional history.

The museum displays artifacts from different periods of the region, from ancient objects to everyday items from past times. Visitors can see how people lived here over thousands of years and shaped their surroundings.

The museum is located in northeastern Timișoara and is open Tuesday through Sunday. Guided tours through the permanent exhibitions are available and help visitors better understand the collections.

The museum organizes an annual medieval festival in July that showcases crafts, old traditions, and historical reenactments in a castle setting. This event brings history to life beyond the museum walls and draws visitors from across the region.
