The Association "Memorial of the the Revolution of Timisoara 16-22 December 1989" was created in 1990 with the aim of honouring the memory of the victims of the Romanian Revolution. They created a Memorial in the Heroes Cemetery (Calea Lipovei) and subsequently a series of 12 commissioned monuments to the Martyrs of the Revolution which stand in parts of the city where people were killed during the uprising.

In 1995 the association purchased and commenced the restoration of an old town building with a central courtyard on Strada Ungureanu (close to Piata Unirii). This now comprises a centre for documentation, research and information about the 1989 Revolution. There is an Exhibition room or Museum which charts the Revolution through photographs, paintings and other exhibits, and where an excellent, hour video presentation of the Revolution is offered to visitors.
