So much history in just one place! But ,again, this place deserves more attention from the authorities

I don't get to say often that I loved a museum, but... they really did a marvelous job! You have several sections, all well organised. Definitely recommend going with the kids

Great place to visit if you are in Drobeta Turnu Severin. The ticket price for adult is 24 Ron(~5euro) and for children's is 6 Ron(~1,1euro).The place it is in great condition as it was renovated recently which will make a great adventure for everybody. Also it is an Aquarium that is in the same price ,but also a Planetarium for which you have to pay extra 11 Ron(~2euro) for adults and 3 Ron(~0,6euro) for children's. Time spent inside about an hour without Planetarium. For planetarium you will spend another 45 minutes.

Such a beautiful museum!! It has a part outside where you can see the reconstruction of how the fortress structured and divided, while inside you have a museum divided in three floors. There is a history part, going through all the most important periods of the city's history, a natural part where you can see different animals and even some mammoth bones, and an aquarium. Sadly the water for the fish is a bit dirty and the tanks are quite small with no interactive stimuli for them.

Extraordinary experience. Congratulations to a very modern presentation of history. I hope you'll get the (touristic) attention you deserve.

Nice place to visit and learn histori

Beautiful historical place!

A museum that rises to the level of museums in Europe. Inspired by the historical geographical location of Severin, we find here several areas of interest. Museum with historical, geographical, folklore and traditional port section, aquarium and a small planetarium. If you arrive in the area you must visit it.

A spectacular museum!!!

Very beautiful location, I highly recommend to visit it

Really wonderful experience, taking you back in time, and showing all the (very rich) history of Drobeta. Probably the best museum in romania

Great museum! It includes visiting the Roman baths, the old Roman fort and the foothold of the bridge. And this is just the outside area. Inside there are the history, natural history, popular art and aquarium areas. Of the most interesting items are tools 16.000 years old. Absolutely impressive!

This was a very nice surprise. The museum is quite big and walks you through history from the Roman age to the 90s. Also local fauna is exposed and some prehistoric live fish. I truly recommend visiting.

5.5.2023 reconstruction of the castrum rather poor quality,but exhibition interesting,modern and in english,very friendly staff,28RON fee for adults,nobody charged for fotos

Great museum. Wonderful location. You can see the leg of the bridge the Romans built to come to Romania

Very big Museum and lots of history and old stuff very good kept. If you have few hours free and want to learn more about History of Romania, this is the perfect spot.

Very good visit. This museum has a very big collection. The Ruins of the Roman Castrum, Aquarium, ceramics, medieval to modern days objects.

Waze was not the most accurate guide to the place. Impressive to see the ancient construction techniques and imagine the grandiosity of the bridge.

Great museum for local history. Good organized exhibition. Kindly recommend.

A complete museum: historical finds, flora and fauna elements, rock types, a mini cave, aquarium and the park with ruins. The most beautiful museum visited so far.
