Short description: The museum in Arad was opened in 1893 as an exhibition of relics from the 1848 revolution, displayed in the lobby on the second floor of the State Theater. Two decades later, the museum was moved to the newly built Cultural Palace (1913), alongside the city’s philharmonic orchestra and library.
