The Museum of University History was founded in 2001. Its appearance was motivated by a generous idea, namely that of highlighting the activity of generations of professors and students who studied in Cluj's universities and colleges from the Middle Ages until today, the history and evolution of every different faculty, department and chair from these institutions. Another important goal was to emphasize the outstanding contributions made by the scholars and intellectuals of Cluj to the world's scientific and cultural heritage.
The heritage of the Museum of University History currently consists of over 1000 pieces (original and facsimile documents, photos, post cards, various scientific devices, medals, publications of university professors, etc.).

Since 2015 the museum publishes a collection titled ,,Personalități ale Universității Babeș-Bolyai'' [Personalities of the Babes-Bolyai University], that features in each number an outstanding professor of our institution. Until 2018, six volumes of this collection have been printed (five volumes in Romanian, one volume entirely in English).

It is recommended that visits be scheduled in advance, especially for large groups.
