The Brukenthal national museum is sited in the fine Baroque palace built by Samuel von Brukenthal, the only Saxon to have been governor of Transylvania under Austrian rule. A keen art lover, he amassed a good collection of Renaissance and Baroque pictures (Flemish, Dutch and German Schools). The museum also has Romanian and Transylvanian works; landscapes of Sibiu by Johann Böbel (1824-1887), modern pictures by Baia Mare artists, and abstract work by Hans Mttis-Teutsch.
