The Museum of Science and Optical Illusions is the latest project of the Pluto Astronomical Association, following the same educational line that can be found at the Mobile Planetarium or the Museum of Mobile Illusions.

Being a permanent location with a generous space of 700sqm, the volunteers of the Pluto Astronomical Association managed to build the only maze of mirrors in Transylvania, the longest Vortex tunnel, a huge Ames room, an UpSideDown room, teaching holograms, a virtual sand box and many other exhibits that combine science and optical illusions. The guides are supported by the well-known „astronomical storytellers“ from the Mobile Planetarium, Dan Coltea and Adi Filpisan shows.

At the same time, there are live experiments that complete the school curriculum, being a real support for students, teachers and parents.

The location of the museum is an unconventional one, the former Turda Brewery, currently a historical monument. In the arrangement of the museum, an attempt was made to preserve and enhance the building, the resulting space being one in which the brick together with wood and metal helps build an authentic industrial atmosphere, but at the same time full of warmth and hospitality.

 

The Monumental Ensemble from Tăușeni

Ansamblul Monumental de la Tăușeni, decorat cu un curcubeu impresionant care domină compoziția. Acest monument unic simbolizează pacea și armonia,

Address: Tăușeni village, Bonțida commune

The idea of creating this concept started in 1994, with the launch of a project competition for Contemporary Art. The ensemble “Signs to the sky for rain and rainbow” in the actual form, was created over the years, starting from the arrangement of the space destined for the monumental complex, to the placement of the component “signs” in their final form.

Located on a hill in the native village of the author Alexandru Chira, the monumental ensemble originally entitled „Installation for remembrance, for suggesting rain and rainbow“, delights our eyes with 18 different pieces. To find out the meaning of each piece, to enter the author’s mind and understand the idea of creating each work, you can access the link www.alexandruchira.ro/ansamblul-monumental.

If we made you curious, do not hesitate to visit the open-air museum, where you can admire all the exhibits that are part of this project. It is located in the Tăușeni village, Bonțida commune, about 40 km from Cluj – Napoca. The entrance is free of charge, and when climbing, visitors will be greeted by a message from the author: “Remember, when climbing this hill bring with you a cup or a cup of spring water, empty it into the Mirror Fountain. The water of the spring will meet the water of heaven and together – the depths of the earth and the sky – will give birth to the ladder of the rainbow, of the last ascension ”….

Muzeon is an innovative and interactive museum that tells the story of the Jewish community in Cluj, Romania. As you get there, you will realize that you are not stepping into a traditional museum, but into a space focused on the experience of personal, real, lived life stories, rather than on exhibits. During your visit to the museum, you will be able to listen to the personal story of a person who lived in the past century, as if he were there, next to you and who will accompany you throughout the experience.

The stories you will hear have been reconstructed on the basis of the archived materials and performed by professional actors. You can listen to the stories in three languages: Romanian, English or Hungarian. In addition to the audio guide, which animates the experience, the museum has numerous interactive exhibits and Virtual Reality glasses. You will learn a lot about Jewish customs and traditions, about the impact of the Jewish community on local culture and how important historical events (told in chronological order) were felt and experienced by the three guides.

Das Dorf Sic ist ein besonderer ethnografischer Raum, wobei die Mehrheit der ungarischen Gemeinschaft in diesem Gebiet immer noch ethnografische Traditionen bewahrt.

Im Jahr 2004 kaufte ein niederländischer Staatsbürger ein sogenanntes Tanzhaus in der Csipkeszeg-Straße. Er restaurierte dieses Haus und organisierte eine Museumssammlung, die den traditionellen Tänzen aus Sic gewidmet ist. ​Mit der Zeit gelang es ihm, ein weiteres traditionelles Haus zu kaufen und zu rehabilitieren, dem er eine ebenfalls im traditionellen Stil gebaute Scheune hinzufügte. Derzeit stellt das Sic-Tanzmuseum eine Sammlung von 460 Paaren von Stiefeln aus, die im traditionellen Tanz verwendet werden.

Die Hostenianer waren eine der wichtigsten Gemeinschaften des alten Cluj, mit einer spezifischen Kleidung, und die im kollektiven Gedächtnis durch die Tatsache blieben, dass sie diejenigen waren, die die Stadt mit Gemüse versorgten. ​Um das Gedenken an diese Gemeinschaft zu bewahren, baute der Anwalt Jósef Bányai, ein Nachkomme dieser Gemeinschaft, ein Museum.

​Das Museum ist auf drei Stockwerken innerhalb der reformierten Gemeinde am 21. Dezember 1989 Boulevard organisiert und beschreibt getreu einen für diese Gemeinschaft spezifischen Haushalt. ​Im ersten Stock finden wir eine Küche, wo man die Körbe finden kann, mit denen das Gemüse zum Markt gebracht wurde, auf der zweiten Ebene gibt es ein Schlafzimmer mit einem Bett, Leinwand an den Wänden, Fotos, einem Schrank und einem Kleiderbügel. Auf der dritten Ebene finden wir einen Raum mit Fotos, der das tägliche Leben der Hostenianer zeigt.
