Argeș County Museum, Regional history museum in Pitești, Romania

The Argeș County Museum occupies an 1890s palace building with French-influenced architecture, characterized by Ionic and composite columns across three floors.

Originally established in 1956, the museum evolved from the Gheorghe Ionescu-Gion Popular Athenaeum, which operated from 1928 to 1946 before relocating to its current site.

The museum displays extensive collections of Dacian artifacts, Romanian paintings, folk art, and mineral specimens across multiple specialized exhibition halls.

Located at 44 Armand Călinescu Street, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

The institution manages three additional historical sites across the county, including the Dacian Castrum of Jidava, Dinu Lipatti House, and Poenari Castle.

Opening Hours: 9:00-17:00; Lundi closed
