The Gherla History Museum Center operates in the edifice built in 1744, which was the first official headquarters of the institution established in 1907. The building in the city center, known as «Laszloffy House» was recently restored, with this occasion being established the Gherla History Museum Center, within which is organized the museum’s basic exhibition and a space dedicated to fine arts (hosting several collections of sculpture and painting) and cultural events.
The main exhibition is organized in 8 rooms and presents collections from the Neolithic and the Metal Age, but the most important collection presented is from the Daco-Roman period, with objects such as the military diploma from the year 123, ceramics, various decorative items and pieces of military equipment from the Roman auxiliary camp of the Ala II Pannorium troop, corresponding to the civil settlement.
Another attraction of the main exhibition is an Armenian living room, where the paintings on the walls from the time the house was built are still preserved. Various Armenian objects are exposed in this room.
