- Abstract
As 2012 marked the anniversary of 100 years since the founding, at the Batthyaneum Library, of a sacred art museum, the exhibition "MUSEUM 1912-2012" was opened to the public during the sixth edition of the National Librarianship Conference, organized by the "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia, the "Lucian Blaga" University, the "ASTRA" Library in Sibiu and the Academy Library in Cluj. To achieve this, the context was decided based on a project and exhibition plan, it was perfected relying on the knowledge of the collections and typology, namely the conservation status of the pieces that were to be exposed. Gradually, the exhibits were selected and preserved, the elements and decorative accessories were defined and, throughout the whole process, the rules and legislative provisions were followed and respected. The preventive and curative conservation standards were also observed, as well as the ones related to the aspect of the display. Opened on the first floor of the Batthyaneum Library, the exhibition comprises three halls, totalling an area of 254.48 sqm. The mending and restoration works (conducted with the support of the National Library) were followed by the selection of objects that were to be exhibited, which depended on the result of research in the archives and their conservation status: 250 exhibits (100 archaeological pieces, 57 silverware pieces, 20 artworks, 25 liturgical vestments and canonicals and 10 works of sculpture and objects of historical value), to which 100 bibliographic units were added (manuscripts, incunabula, books and ex-libris). This "Museum" is meant to become a source and meeting place of "the intelligentsia", i.e. researchers in various fields, in a true academic spirit envisioned for his Library by the bishop Batthyány
