About
Romania's first technical museum, founded in 1909 by engineer Dimitrie Leonida, fills an industrial pavilion in Carol Park. More than 5,000 exhibits cover mechanics, electricity, transport, aviation and telecoms, including an 1853 steam engine, Aurel Persu's streamlined car, flying machines by Traian Vuia and Henri Coandă, and a jetpack prototype.
Its historic wing reopened in 2026 after about 40 years. The displays are old-school and suit kids already into machines.
