DE LA COLECTIE LA MUZEU ÎN SOCIETATEA TRANSILVANEANA (SECOLUL AL-XIX-LEA). O PRIVIRE SUBIECTIVA
FROM COLLECTION TO MUSEUM IN THE TRANSYLVANIAN SOCIETY (NINETEENTH CENTURY). A SUBJECTIVE LOOK

Summary/Abstract: The nineteenth century was, for Transylvanian society, a time in which the transition occurred at museum collection, restricted, as stock, but heterogeneous (type Bazaar) to the museum, institution well defined, the statute and regulation and, above all, with a view as consistent as the managing and collecting assets of the museum. Even at a glance summary we can say that in Transylvania museums were born from different segments of society, something which was reflected on the specificity of each casting. We have identified, not necessarily in a chronological formula, at least three areas originating the museum: in some private collections, on the initiative of cultural societies and educational world. The first category is from the work of persons or personalities marked by pleasure collect (see the Baron Samuel von Brukenthal). In the second category easily identified three companies that have linked the name of important museum institutions in Transylvania: Transylvanian Society of Natural Sciences of Sibiu (Siebenbürgische Verein für Naturwissenschaften) Transylvanian Museum Association in Cluj (Erdélyi Múzeum Egylet) and Transylvanian Association for Romanian Literature and Romanian People's Culture (Astra). All, in addition to an intense cultural life and scientific, were established sooner or later, one museum foundation. The same may be museums created in the last decades of the nineteenth century, in the county, on the initiative of company history, archaeology and natural sciences (Timisoara, Oradea, Deva, Alba Iulia, Baia Mare). They are the fruit of Hungarian cultural emulation express the views and historical conception of spirituality developed within Hungary. Between theoretical concepts driven Budapest and Transylvania reality shows generated a strong incongruity (if history museums) and the city's historical vision. Finally, school museums were set up as a result of education reform and secularization Austrian model training process, whose share has increased in mathematics, physics and natural sciences. In what concerns the Romanian schools were set up offices, schools have become museums, schools, Blaj, Brasov, Nasaud, Brad, Sibiu, Beius,Gherla.
