The National Museum of Transylvanian History (MNIT), together with Babeș-Bolyai University and Cluj City Hall, invites you to the opening of the exhibition "A new world in search of the old. A century of archeology under the auspices of the University of Cluj at the Dacian Citadels and Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa", which will take place during the opening ceremony of the academic year 2024-2025, on September 30, 2024, at 14:00 p.m., in the Aula Magna (central building of UBB, str. M. Kogălniceanu, no. 1).
The exhibition marks 100 years since the initiation of the first systematic archaeological research at Sarmizegetusa Regia and at the first city of Roman Dacia, Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, included this year in the UNESCO heritage as part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire – Dacia (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1718/), with the support of the Ministry of Culture, by a team coordinated by the National History Museum of Transylvania and the National Heritage Institute, most of the Dacian fortresses being registered since 1999 (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/906/).
During the exhibition, in the hall in front of the Great Hall, heritage objects from the archaeological excavations of these sites, located in the collections of the National Museum of Transylvanian History and the Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilization, will be exhibited. We were happy to be with Babeș-Bolyai University by financing the panels, creating the texts, images and showcases.
