Dimitrie Leonida (1883-1965) an engineer, founded the museum following the model of the Technical Museum in Munich (1903) that Leonida visited as a student between 1903 and 1908 at the Polytehnic Charlottenburg, near Berlin. Dimitrie Leonida, in 1908 decided to create the first training school for electricians and mechanics in Romania. The Professor, together with his students, gathered the first pieces that would go on to represent the base of the future museum (1909).
