The museum is practically a time-machine that will enable you to experience, first-hand, the living conditions of a normal working class family in communist times. Therefore in order to be able to understand what it meant to live in a communist country we encourage you to book an over-night stay.

Surreal, accurate snapshot of our childhood homes. Every detail, piece of furniture, magazine, carpet or bibelou trigger powerful memories. For everyone else a powerful inaight into how life was lived indoors in communism. Well worth a detour from central Brasov.

The museum has a wide gallery where it hosts interesting temporary exhibition that incorporate an outlook of modern times through technology or contemporary subjects. For example, Celest - an exhibition that is on until July 13th 2017, that is about the exploration of space. Interesting for anybody who likes to play, regardless of age.

Dear Visitors to Bran Castle, On June 1, 2009, we celebrated the return of the heirs of Princess Ileana with Bran Castle’s rebirth as the first private museum and premiere tourist destination of Romania. June 1st is the International Day of Children and Bran Castle’s day of revival. Fittingly, we have chosen to celebrate the day with special events for children, so that we may all remain fresh and young at heart. During the past year we have completed refurbishing the Castle, recapturing the spirit of Queen Marie’s favorite retreat and the loved home of her descendants. We have installed easy to read informational plaques and a media room for our visitors. We are currently restoring the park, as well as renovating all the facilities. We are also preparing additional cultural events and entertainment for our visitors. Following the castle’s change of ownership, director Narcis Ion remained with the Ministry of Culture, but has continued to be our valued advisor. We have welcomed a new group of managing directors: Lia Doru Trandafir, Corin Trandafir, and Alexandru Priscu. We are happy to receive every guest that comes to visit us. Welcome to our castle, our home. Sincerely, Dominic Habsburg, Maria-Magdalena Holzhausen, Elisabeth Sandhofer

We took a tour of Bran Castle as part of a day long tour and as we drove to the castle from Brasov, our tour guide, Manuela, gave us a thorough impressive discussion concerning the legend and lore of Bran Castle, aka Dracula's Castle vs. what was the true history behind Bran Castle. To enjoy the castle and the surrounding area, knowing the true story makes it all the more worthwhile. The castle itself is not a huge castle but was built in this location for not only defense/fortification reasons but also to collect taxes on goods as they traversed to and from Europe from countries further east. The location was one of the better ways to move goods through the region thus it was a prime tax collection site. The castle itself is impressive when you see it afar and close-up. Inside, it is rather minimalist but typical. It is worth the visit whether you visit based on folklore or want to know the true actual history!

From backstrap looms to a functioning Jacquard loom, this treasure of a museum covers the entire extraordinary history of the textile arts in Brasov. You will see a two-harness floor loom, tape and rigid heddle looms, the full range of spindle evolution from simple drop spindles through to the spinning wheel, and a detailed exploration of the iconography and symbolism in local national dress. Embroidery arts on sheepskin are also covered in fantastic detail. Heaven for textile artists and all who love Romania's rich ethnographic history as viewed through the lens of fabric and embellishment.
