Situated in Sibiu (Hermannstadt) , The Brukenthal National Museum is housed in the palace of Samuel von Brukenthal, a Habsburg governor of Transylvania who established its first collection around 1790. The Museum was officially opened for the public to see its collections in 1817 this fact making it the oldest institution of this kind in Transylvania.

Six museums that have their own cultural programs without being separate administrative entities and are located in different locations around the city are forming this complex Museum. Located inside the Brukenthal Palace The Art Galleries include a number of about 1200 works belonging to the main European schools of painting, from the 15th to the 18th century: Flemish-Dutch, German and Austrian, Italian, Spanish and French Schools. The Galleries also include collections of engravings, books, numismatics, and minerals.

The Brukenthal Library is sheltered by the Brukenthal Palace. Together with manuscripts, fifteeners, rare foreign books, old Transylvanian-language books, contemporary books and specialized magazines, it covers almost 300,000 library units.
