The Olt District Museum came into being in 1952, but the idea of such an establishment had already appeared since the first years after the end of the First World War, in the form of donations of old documents, books and prints, historical objects or works of art, with a view to establishing a museum of the Olt. Housed in a wonderful historical building in the center of Slatina, the museum enjoys an exceptional interior organization, with generous and excellently arranged spaces that house collections and exhibits of great historical and artistic value. The history and culture section of Slatina is arranged in 5 rooms, being inaugurated on April 23, 2003. Includes countless landmarks of the history of Slatina, historical testimonies of the evolution of this locality: old documents, coins, books, objects of worship, plans, sketches and old photographs, together with the reconstruction of period decorations, such as a reception hall and a few shops from the town. Other departments of great interest to the visitors of this museum are those of plastic art, the section of folk art and ethnography and the history-archeology section.
