Hello, My name is Mark Tudose and few years ago I have start "Art & Crafts" in Sighisoara. At first I have made a local artist gallery with handmade products around Sighisoara. I do the wood part in the gallery. In time we developed more opening a museum section for our gallery with pieces made of wood about 50 years ago. This year is for the first time when we will open this museum part for our customers. So, feel free to visit us and let me know your opinion. I really think that the only way for a craft it comes with the story behind. I hope you will like our stories.

This souvenir shop in the historical center has various products made by local craftsmen: from wooden carved spoons and hand painted Christian icons to handmade magnets showing the most iconic attractions of the city.

Who hasn’t heard of the (in)famous Dracula? Vampire or ruler, known near and far for his cruelty. Here, at The Dracula Investigation, you will learn that this story also starts with a simple human being like you and me. A person with feelings, a traumatized kid - allow us to present you the real Vlad Dracula - the son, brother, warrior. Inside, in 5 rooms Vlad himself will tell you his life story. You will get to see animations, sculptures and light/ shadow effects. We invite you to travel back in time with us to get to know Dracula’s human, real and often hidden part.

An original idea presenting the life of Vlad Țepeş (the Impaler) in an interactive way with videos, sculptures and audio, creating an adequate atmosphere for his life story.

The city leadership, at the beginning of the twentieth century, decided to build a new city center, and chose that the three buildings to be built be made in the Art Nouveau style. It was possible to build only two of them - the Cultural Palace and the City Hall (currently the Prefecture) and the Theater was not built. The architecture of the Palace of Culture is absolutely superb, made with great attention to every detail, and is in a perfect state of preservation. I did not have time to visit it inside, the cost of a ticket (approx. 3 Euro) being practically symbolic. If you have time, visit it during the day, to admire its architecture, but also at night, when the building is artistic iluminated

The history museum that is located inside the old clock tower, features some interesting pieces from the old arts like blacksmithing and tailoring. Also, very interesting is the old medicinal history here. It's a nice and cheap place for a cool history lesson.
