GORJ MUSEUM

Housed in the former prefecture, a yellow building dating from 1875, its history section will provide you with information on the town's past and the folklore of the region. The Art Museum, on the edge of the central park (strada Traian 2), exhibits ancient icons, works by Corneliu Baba and 17th century paintings from the Flemish and Italian schools. Finally, the Museum of Popular Architecture, located in the village of Curtișoara, a little off the road leading to Petroșani, groups together in the open air about thirty typical houses of the region.
