    (Translated by Google) We have what to see in this museum, maybe we should go even more often ... my 4 year old son adores this place and every time he listens with great interest to the explanations ... But the staff (the lady with the tickets) should seriously review their behavior, show no kind of esteem (not to say the contempt and the boredom of what it shows) for the few people who pass the threshold of this place on their own and unorganized P.S. I still expect all state employees to go to service with love 🤗 (Original) Avem ce vedea in acest muzeu, poate ar trebui sa mergem chiar mai des... fiul meu de 4 ani adora acest loc si de fiecare data asculta cu mare interes explicatiile... Insa personalul ( doamna cu biletele) ar trebui sa isi revizuiasca serios comportamentul, nu arata nici un fel de stima ( sa nu spun dispretul si plictiseala ce o arata ) pentru putinele persoane ce trec pragul acestui loc pe cont propriu si neorganizat P.S. eu inca astept 🙄 ca toti angajati statului sa mearga la servicu cu drag 🤗

    (Translated by Google) Inaugurated on December 2, 1923 under the name of "The Museum of Natural History of Craiova", by the members of the Craiovean Scientific Circle led by the professor of natural sciences Marin Demetrescu, it became a section of the Oltenia Regional Museum, in 1928. On May 13, 1928, it was decided that the Museum of Natural History of Craiova which, in 1927 received for administration the collections of the Ethnography and Antiquities Museum of Dolj County, to "limit the area of ​​exploration to the Oltean land" (Vincenz, 1928) and to operate under the name of the Oltenia Regional Museum, under the guidance of Professor Marin Demetrescu. The Department of Natural Sciences initially worked in the prefecture building; between 1934 - 1948 it moved to the current headquarters of the Ethnography Section, and between 1949 - 1975 it worked in the current headquarters of the Section of Archeology - History. During this period, the patrimony of the Natural Sciences Section was given for public viewing under different forms of exposure until 1963, when the basic exhibition was organized, arranged on the ground floor of the building on Madona Dudu Street no. 44, realized after a thematic project prepared by the professor dr. Ioan Firu. This exhibition was abolished in 1975 to expand the basic exhibition of the History - Archeology Section. Between 1975 and 1986, due to the lack of adequate space, the exhibition activity of the Natural Sciences Section ceased, continuing the activity of completing and diversifying, the scientific evidence and valorization of the patrimony. The new exhibition campaign started on March 13, 1986, on the ground floor of the building from Popa Sapca Street no. 8 where it works and at present, when two temporary exhibitions were given in the visiting circuit: "Butterflies - flying petals" and "From the animal world". The two exhibitions were followed regularly by dozens of temporary exhibitions that had the gift of running the valuable heritage, enriched and diversified over the years with museum pieces resulting from the research activity of the museographers. At least four temporary exhibitions were held annually at the headquarters of the Section, some of them being traveled to other museums in the country (Drobeta Turnu Severin, Timişoara, Târgu Mureş, Brăila, Curtea de Argeş, Suceava, Bacău, Bârlad, Bistriţa Năsăud, etc.). On September 18, 2008, the basic exhibition was opened from the first floor, arranged following the implementation of the project "Increasing the tourist attractiveness of Craiova municipality and Dolj county by arranging the basic exhibition from the first floor - Department of Natural Sciences of the Oltenia Craiova Museum" , submitted on December 16, 2002, in the framework of the PHARE 2001 Economic and Social Cohesion Program - Grant scheme for small infrastructure projects, by CJ Dolj, in partnership with the Oltenia Museum - Department of Natural Sciences (photo 1-3). On February 22, 2012 was introduced in the exhibition circuit and the basic paleontology exhibition "Oltenia - Terra fossilis", arranged on the ground floor of the building in Popa Şapcă str. 8. Also, in the same year the arrangement of the exhibition space of the section was completed by the permanent exhibition of the Universe and our Solar System, opened on December 4, when Planetarium was inaugurated, in the two rooms on the second floor of the building. (Original) Inaugurată la 2 decembrie 1923 sub denumirea de "Muzeul de Istorie Naturală al Craiovei", de către membrii Cercului Ştiinţific Craiovean condus de profesorul de ştiinţe naturale Marin Demetrescu, a devenit secţie a Muzeului Regional al Olteniei, în anul 1928. La 13 mai 1928 s-a hotarât ca Muzeul de Istorie Naturală al Craiovei care, în anul 1927 a primit spre administrare şi colecţiile Muzeului de Etnografie şi Antichităţi al judeţului Dolj, să-şi "mărginească aria de explorare la ţinutul oltean" (Vincenz, 1928) şi să funcţioneze sub denumirea de Muzeul Regional al Olteniei, sub conducerea profesorului Marin Demetrescu. Secţia de Ştiinţele Naturii a funcţionat iniţial în clădirea Prefecturii; între anii 1934 - 1948 s-a mutat în actualul sediu al Secţiei de Etnografie, iar între anii 1949 - 1975 a funcţionat în actualul sediu al Secţiei de Arheologie - Istorie. În această perioadă, patrimoniul Secţiei de Ştiinţele Naturii a fost dat spre vizitare publicului sub diferite forme de expunere pâna în anul 1963, când s-a dat în circuit expozitia de bază, amenajată la parterul clădirii din strada Madona Dudu nr. 44, realizată după un proiect tematic întocmit de profesorul dr. Ioan Firu. Această expoziţie a fost desfiinţată în anul 1975 pentru extinderea expoziţiei de bază a Secţiei de Istorie - Arheologie. Între anii 1975 - 1986, din lipsa unui spaţiu adecvat, activitatea expoziţională a Secţiei de Ştiinţele Naturii a încetat, continuând activitatea de completare şi diversificare, evidenta şi valorificare ştiinţifică a patrimoniului. Noua campanie expozitională a început la 13 martie 1986, la parterul clădirii din strada Popa Sapca nr. 8 unde funcţioneaza şi în prezent, când au fost date în circuit de vizitare două expoziţii temporare: "Fluturii - petale zburătoare" si "Din lumea animalelor". Cele două expoziţii, au fost urmate periodic de zeci de expoziţii temporare care au avut darul de a rula valorosul patrimoniu, îmbogăţit şi diversificat de-a lungul anilor cu piese muzeale rezultate în urma activităţii de cercetare a muzeografilor. Anual au fost realizate cel puţin patru expoziţii temporare la sediul Secţiei, unele dintre ele fiind itinerate la alte muzee din ţară (Drobeta Turnu Severin, Timişoara, Târgu Mureş, Brăila, Curtea de Argeş, Suceava, Bacău, Bârlad, Bistriţa Năsăud etc). La 18 septembrie 2008, s-a vernisat expoziţia de bază de la etajul I, amenajată în urma implementării proiectului "Creşterea atractivităţii turistice a municipiului Craiova şi a judeţului Dolj prin amenajarea expoziţiei de bază de la etajul I - Secţia de Ştiinţele Naturii a Muzeului Olteniei Craiova", depus la 16 decembrie 2002, în cadrul Programului PHARE 2001 Coeziune Economica si Sociala - Schema de finanţare nerambursabilă pentru proiecte de infrastructură mica, de către C.J. Dolj, în parteneriat cu Muzeul Olteniei - Secţia de Ştiinţele Naturii (foto 1-3). La 22 februarie 2012 a fost introdusă în circuitul expoziţional şi expoziţia de bază de paleontologie “Oltenia – Terra fossilis”, amenajată la parterul imobilului din str. Popa Şapcă nr. 8. De asemenea, în același an s-a finalizat amenajarea spațiului expozițional al secției prin realizarea expoziției permanente Universul și Sistemul nostru Solar, vernisată la 4 decembrie, prilej cu care s-a inaugurat Planetarium, în cele două săli de la etajul II al imobilului.

    Totally not worth to visit, because of the staff who's impolite and they don't know what to talk and when to talk. Yes the space inside is well maintained, but is not something extraordinary, just a tiny place. Please educate your staff and then you can gain more than just visitors.

  • 3/5 Michele B. 5 years ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Above expectations. Of course you should not expect too much from a minor ethnographic museum in a minor city. Still, it has some nice exhibits that are arranged in a pleasant way and it is very cheap.

    (Translated by Google) The usual museum of local history, which is in almost all towns. Only if you entertain kids a little before the age of 12, or "score time".
