The Museum of romanian Press from Jimbolia was declared open on 14 september 2007, the first institution of this kind in Romania, one of the few even in Europe (in Aachen, Germany, and in Portugal). The museum received the name of Sever Bocu, first class citizen of Banat, born in Șiştarovăţ, who published the newspaper “România Mare” in Kiev, in 1917, for the romanian war prisoners in concentration camps. Journalist for “Tribune” (“Tribuna”) from Arad, “the West” and “the Will of Banat” from Timişoara, deputy in 1921, governor of Timiş region between 1938 - 1940, elected deputy of timiş-to ron tal in 1946, arrested in 1950, sever Bocu was confined in the prison from sighetul Marmaţiei, where he also died in January 1951. The object of the Museum of Romanian Press “Sever Bocu” has been to collect press - regardless of the language - from entire Romania. The starting point was the newspaper collection of Petre Stoica Foundation (which owns over 15,000 volumes in Romanian and German, some of great bibliographic value, numismatic, philatelic and postcards collections, ex-libris, valuable manuscripts belonging to Romanian and German writers, paintings, engravings, household items). Sever Bocu Museum has on display several almanacs and calendars (XIXth-XXth century), documents describing the internal life of a publication (identification badges, envelopes etc.), old photographs, a relatively large specialist library on printed media. The museum collections include rare sample newspapers, photographs depicting the daily life of the typographers, press illustrations, a printing device and other printing related items. the post-revolutionary romanian press is also represented, especially the first issue of each publication, which has been donated to this unique museum from Jimbolia. Currently, the curator of the museum is publicist Vali Corduneanu.
