Summary/Abstract: The History Museum of Sighișoara opened its doors on June 25, 1899 at the initiative of an enthusiastic group gathered around doctor Josef Bacon. Until 1925 it was managed by the Sebastian Hann Association, and between 1925 and 1951 by the Evangelical Consistory A.C. of Sighisoara. If the period before 1934 meant a stage of accumulations and organizing at the level of permanent exhibitions, after 1934 the information on the institution is increasingly scarce. This was due to the advanced age of doctor Josef Bacon and the complicated context determined by the Second World War. The new director, Dr. Julius Hollitzer, had the merit to keep the collection intact, to continue the inventory, to preserve the heritage objects and to open the museum exhibition in the Clock Tower according to the possibilities, to the public.
