Turda Cultural House

 

The Turda Cultural House is a public cultural institution, without legal personality, under the jurisdiction of the Local Council. In a short diachronic overview, we find out about the Turda Cultural House that it was established before 1929 in the former Princely House where the Turda History Museum is located today and it operated under the patronage of Astra. The current Cultural House was established in 1948 under the name "Nicolae Bălcescu" Popular Ateneum, later becoming a Cultural Center and transformed in 1958 into the Regional Culture House. It was tasked with guiding and controlling the activity of cultural centers and reading rooms in the Turda district. With the administrative reform in 1968, the institution became the Municipal Culture House, with activity at the headquarters, at the two branches in Turda Noua and Poiana, at the cultural centers in the Mihai Viteazu and Săndulești municipalities, until 1989.

In Turda's cultural and artistic scene, the Cultural House is a dynamic and adaptable institution, supporting the cultural association framework and developing partnerships with other cultural institutions, with non-governmental organizations in the country and abroad.

At present, the Cultural House offers a diverse program of artistic courses, cultural activities and events that meet the needs of cultural consumers.

The institution organizes numerous courses that have become a tradition: folk dances and traditions, visual arts, classical and popular singing, philately, choral interpretation. To these are added the more recent courses in ballet and majorettes. Over 300 children, young people and adults participate in these courses and one of the institution's objectives is to attract as many young people as possible who can develop their talent or be initiated, in accordance with their passion, in various areas of art.
