| Abstract | The main purpose of the study is to depict the evolution of technical museums across Romania, highlighting a new trend - visible in the past few years - towards preservation of industrial heritage assets in areas that have undergone functional reorganization. This trend is the result of the countrys adaptation to the new socio-economic conditions, but also an accession into the stage of cultural and touristic capitalization on industrial heritage assets, acting as a support-activity in boosting the economy of disadvantaged industrial areas. The second purpose of the study consists of elaborating a critical analysis of technical museums from Romania in order to identify the caracteristics to use to increase their cultural role. Also, the analysis is focused on the premise to make technical museums stand out as tourist attraction hubs and to preview their role in the redevelopment of industrial areas in decline, banking on a positive economic and socio-cultural impact. |

| The cultural regeneration of industrial towns also contributes to the creation of the towns touristic image. . | Thus, technical museums become a means of conveying a positive image of industrial towns, which can evolve towards a higher level of efficiency, and become cultural tourist centers and at the same time sources of definition of the local culture for future generations. . | Museum and cultural organizations have been recognized as a value for the vitality and character of cities particularly within the idea of urban regeneration, that includes the challenge to achieve long-term, strategic reshaping of cities and neighbourhoods, set against a history of short-term, area-based initiatives. . | The success of a museum is visible and viable if the museum is strongly anchored in the local culture and history. . | It is also necessary to get the local community involved in establishing and maintaining the museum, so as to easily convey to tourists its cultural importance, and success is translated by the inflow of tourists who validate the cultural importance of the respective tourist destination. . | The implementation of the process of cultural regeneration at the level of industrial towns allows a progress in their course from the category of unaes-thetic urban centers to localities that can offer a series of cultural landmarks, other than those we are used to. . | As far as the cultural part is concerned, the conversion of abandoned industrial sites into manifestly cultural and touristic facilities reflects the recovery and restoration capacity of certain areas that apparently are deprived of economic value and tourist-attractiveness. . | Ensuring a proper cultural management can turn the industrial site converted into a museum in an outstanding cultural tourist attraction that can win over a significant number of tourists. . | This trend is the result of the country's adaptation to the new socio-economic conditions, but also an accession into the stage of cultural and touristic capitalization on industrial heritage assets, acting as a support-activity in boosting the economy of disadvantaged industrial areas. . | The change of the positive image can also have an important role, later on, in winning over investments in various economic activities. . | Technical museums can serve as an instrument in revitalizing the economy of functionally-restructur- ing regions. . | Establishing technical museums in industrial areas that have undergone functional restructuring it is an instrument in the process of cultural regeneration, which, on the one hand, ensures a continuity of industrial patrimony assets, and on the other hand contributes to reviving the local economy, by including them in the tourist circuit. . | In virtue of their cultural function, technical museums are included in the category of man-made tourist resources, a fact that can favor their inclusion in the development strategies of the areas hit by economic reorganization, having a well-defined role and place in the system of touristic capitalization of those regions. . | Also, the development of heritage tourism is understood not only as one of the pillars of alternative economic and social development to replace the deactivated mining industry, but also an active agent in the process of defining the diverse collective identities (Ballesteros & Ramirez, 2007 quoted by Gorjup-Kavi et al, 2010). . | Cultural investments, merging tourism strategies with local capability creation, have been seen, in this context, as effective catalysts for city regeneration processes (Bi-anchini, 1993, Geronimi, 2006). . |
