The museum is managed by the Kalnoky Foundation and occupies the ground floor of the Kalnoky Hunting Mansion. A few years ago, the Kálnoky Foundation set out to found a museum showcasing the material culture of the bourgeoisie and nobility of previous centuries in Transylvania. Thus, between November 2014 and April 2017, the project Heritage Initiative - Museum of Transylvanian Life took place, funded by the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area and the Government of Romania through the PA16 / RO12 Program Conservation and revitalization of cultural and natural heritage. The initiator of the project is the Kálnoky Foundation, in partnership with INTBAU Scandinavia. T...he gala hall is presented in the unique style of Europe, known exclusively from Transylvania - the late renaissance and early baroque (the transition period of the 17th – 18th centuries). One of the most beautiful rooms of the museum, "Lady's House", as it was called the residence of the counties, presents the daily life of a lady in the late Renaissance and early Baroque: delicate objects, glassware, a corner for embroidery and reading. The "master's house", by contrast, presents weapons from the fights with the Turks, Turkish carpets. The atmosphere of an 18th-century castle kitchen is reflected in the castle's cellar, now a place for festive meals.
