Still on works, but the rooms of the city history are good. Pity they don't have the main text in English (you need a handed copy, it is nice but not the same).
All exhibitions were professionally curated and with great attention to detail, but the one on Ancient Egypt is breathtaking! A very well preserved collection of artifacts dating from the Middle Kingdom to Ptolemaic Egypt, unique in Romania as far as I know. Surprising enough, the entrance was free.
Wer denkt, er würde hier mit wissenswertem bedacht, irrt gewaltig. Alle Informationen sind auf rumänisch, nichts ist in englischer Sprache. Umgeworfen hat mich das, was ich auf zwei Etagen gesehen habe, auch nicht. Die EUR 4,00 kann man sich getrost sparen.
Very excellent small museum with local history from neolithic period to present. Most of signage in Romanian but easy to translate with google lens. There is a small but excellent Egyptian exhibit as well. Figure 1.5 hours to cover the exhibition. There are stairs and clean restrooms.
Don't waste your time. The entire museum is four rooms and does not cater to non-Romanian tourists. The only thing offered was one photocopied page in English for the the whole museum. You'd think they'd make more of an effort, as the only paying customers in the entire museum were non-native speakers.
To top it off, the woman working the tickets/concessions was rude, dismissive, and rolled her eyes every time we tried to communicate. Sorry, we're tourists and don't speak Romanian... I guess we'll take our $$$ elsewhere.

A small but decent museum of local history. They have local Roman and even some Egyptian artefacts. They need descriptions in English (and Chinese) for the eventual tourist boom
Great place to learn about the history of the local area and of Romania overall, a lot of sightings and attractions
