Guide Commentary
Tucked away in a quiet side street, Muzeul Consumatorului Comunist feels like stepping into a friend’s cluttered, nostalgic apartment—wooden shelves crammed with old glassware, vinyls, and toys, all lit by warm, dim lights. Locals love it because it’s real: no fancy labels, just stories in every corner. The vibe is cozy, a bit chaotic, and totally unpretentious. You can grab a cold beer or a simple snack at the bar downstairs, chat with regulars, and even touch the exhibits. It’s free to wander, and the food’s nothing fancy—just honest, no-frills bites. Perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or when you want to feel the city’s pulse without the tourist crowds.

It’s a really nice museum that gives you a look of the past. It’s interesting place that shows how people used to live. You can find a lot of items of the past separated in rooms. The entrance is free, but you can leave a donation. There is also place there for you to see and have a coffee. It’s a nice quiet neighbourhood. I recommend having this quick stop to your journey.

If you're a child of RSR, this place will take you on a trip down memory lane. You'll find the Turda glassware (the glass fish on everyone's TV), toys that only lasted a day not because they weren't sturdy but because most children would take apart. And many more communist era memorabilia. If you're a history buff, go see it. The entrance is a donation (I encourage you to donate so the museum will expand). The bartender/host is a nice young man that styled himself as "Dracula" There is so much stuff that would look much nicer if it was better organized. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely place which displays exhibits from the communist era, from antiques to relics. It's small, cozy and has just a few rooms. The museum is right in the basement and access is totally free.

Tucked away in a side street, this charming place is actually a bar/pub, where you can grab a beer or a snack. The museum is a private collection of memorabilia from the communist era. The entrance is free, but a donation is appreciated. Staff is welcoming and speaks english.
