Vizitatorii muzeului Sighișoara Veche în perioada de început 1899−1917

Abstract

The oldest cultural institution in Sighișoara is the History Museum housed in the Clock Tower, the symbol of the town. It opened its doors to the public on 25 June 1899 and it remains open to this day. An important source related to the beginnings of the Sighișoara museum is its first Visitors Signing Book. It was used in the first decades of the institution’s existence. According to the dating of the signatures, it would fit into the chronological horizon between 1899 and 1918. Unfortunately, due to its unrestricted exhibition in the 1940s and 1970s, there are also signatures of visitors from this period.
