WELCOME

     The website of the Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilization (Deva) aims to be an informative source regarding this museum institution, for sure bearing in mind that it is like an X-ray of a reality subject to daily updates.
     This webpages is mainly addressed to the wide public interested in the historic past of this county. Since the museum is currently under reorganisation, there aren’t permanent exhibitions in display, but temporary exhibitions are organised regularly, in order to set on value part of the rich heritage preserved on the museum’s collections.
     Given the fact that the majority of the exhibition spaces of the Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilisation Deva —including the ones of its territorial departments— were closed or blocked by repair activities, the endeavor of setting up the temporary exhibitions demonstrated the capacity of the museum’s management and staff to do more than the reality might have allowed.
     Throughout these exhibitions organised in the existing conditions, the Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilisation succeed to keep its gates opened for the visitors.
     On the following period, the priority goal for our institution is to complete the general rehabilitation and renovation of the building which will become the administrative headquarter of the Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilisation Deva. Once this objective will be achieved, there will be set a deadline for the reopening of the permanent exhibitions in the Magna Curia building and it the territorial departments: the Department of Regional History and Ethnography in Brad, the Department of Ethnography and Folk Art Orastie and the Department of Archaeology at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa (the archaeological site museum).
     Thanks to the Hunedoara County Council and to its president, professor Mircea Ioan Molot, as well as to the entire staff of the Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilisation Deva, firstly to the ones who understood the importance of the undertaken approaches, partners and friends of the institution, all the ones who —throughout their activity— provided us the support to meet our duties regarding the heritage preserved in the collections of this museum and the visiting public.
