The Diocesan Church Museum was established in 2007, at the initiative of Archbishop Epifanie Norocel. Located at the entrance to the Diocesan Center, on the left, the building "Chesarie Episcopul" (put into use in 1838), which houses the Church Museum of the Diocese of Curbura Carpathians, is an important objective - historical and architectural monument. This neoclassical building carries with it, in the unstoppable flow of time, a double historical message: the Daco-Roman origin of our people, argued by the existence on the east wall of bas-reliefs representing Dacian and Roman heads, as well as anticipation historical event of great national importance of the Union of Romanian P...rincipalities (January 24, 1859), motivated by the existence of the coat of arms of Moldavia (bison) and Wallachia (eagle) above the upstairs windows. It should be mentioned that, in Istriţa Hill (near Pietroasele locality, Buzău county), when the stone for removing this construction was removed, the valuable treasure "Cloşca cu puii de aur" was discovered. On the ground floor of the building, several rooms are arranged; In some there are stored icons, church objects and heritage books that could not be exhibited, and in others there will be workshops and laboratories for the restoration and conservation of museum pieces. Upstairs, in the impressively generous lobby and in the seven halls, are exhibited documents regarding the antiquity of this Diocese and some of its hierarchs, as well as numerous icons, liturgical objects, hierarchical vestments, church books (predominantly, cults), paintings, etc. a.
