Jewish History Museum
The Story of Your Jewish Neighbour
About Us
Muzeon is an innovative Jewish History Museum, founded in 2020, as a private initiative. Based on a family history, the museum tells stories of the Jewish community in Cluj, Romania, via three different audio guides: Julia, Paul, and David. All the information in the museum, including the audio guide, is available in English, Romanian, and Hungarian.
The Muzeon mission is to offer visitors a meaningful learning experience, without the effort of learning. That is why there are three different audio guides, which tell real stories in first person, combined with interactive exhibits, artifacts, artistic installations, and Virtual Reality.

Very interesting museum to visit. I recommend it if you are in Cluj and you want to visit something. Antonia Drăghia
8/04/2021 - It was a very surrounding and immersive experience... I would say amusing if the topic weren't so touching and dramatic.
I suggest it! Giuseppe D'Errico
7/21/2021 - It focuses a lot on emotion and storytelling rather than artefacts and historical chronologies like your typical museum and does a great job through the use of personal perspective of telling the story of the Jews
After seeing this place I went to the few remaining synagogues in the city, before this museum I was quite unaware of the Jewish past of the city
The museum is very modern in both display and how you interact with it, there is an audio guide available in several languages, an app you open on the phone which guides you through the rooms and an original way of making a story out of everyday objects
It's not the cheapest museum but I definitely recommend it Claudiu
7/04/2021 - A very modern museum in terms of storytelling, design, experience. And heartbreaking.
A mustsee, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Ioana Patrascoiu
6/06/2021 - Amazing place! It is very clean, the staff is very nice and it is full of history and tradition. I would highly recommend it to anyone, but be careful, it is an unique, life-changing experience. Andrei Călin
