By inaugurating the medieval lapidarium, the National History Museum of Transylvania ends a several decades-long wait, during which we have been deprived of one of Cluj’s most admirable exhibitions. A special space of the museum is being reborn, arranged more than a century ago, when the mise en scene with the Renaissance frames enriching the space created by the enfilade rooms was a stroke of genius of the respective era. The rhythm of the doors, gates, and windows adorned with various decorations and inscriptions recreated the varnished world of Renaissance Cluj at a tangible distance. The artistic and visual experience in this lapidarium remained for each visitor unique and memorable in the general context of the museum. The new exhibition maintains the axiality of the old one, yet the thematic grouping of the pieces is much better thought out and presented.
