National Museum of the Union, National history museum in Alba Iulia, Romania.
The National Museum of the Union exhibits 200,000 heritage objects across three exhibition floors in the historic Babylon Building of Alba Iulia.
The museum, established in 1887, originated from the Society for History, Archaeology and Natural Science of the Inferior Alba County and opened its doors in 1888.
The collections present archaeological findings from prehistoric times through modern eras, including Bronze Age artifacts, Dacian treasures, and Roman marble statues.
Visitors can explore the museum between 10:00 and 17:00 every day except Monday, with guided tours lasting approximately 75 minutes through the exhibitions.
The museum building received its name Babylon due to the numerous languages spoken within its walls during its time as Austro-Hungarian military quarters.
