As an addition yes, not as a priority. The main square, the Black Church, the citadel and the fortified churches around Transylvania have a stronger claim. But the museum is short, cheap and central, and on a rainy day it becomes a reasonable choice.
Yes if you have time. It is in the same building and covers dress, crafts and rural life in Transylvania, which is closer to what makes the region distinctive than the painting collection is. The tickets are separate but the visit is one.

BraČov's art museum, showing Romanian painting and sculpture with an emphasis on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, alongside a section of decorative art and glass. The collection is regional rather than national, which sets the expectation: you will not find international names here but Romanian and local artists, many of them from Transylvania itself. The value is in seeing how the region's painters depicted their towns, villages and mountains during the period when modern Romania took shape. It shares its building with the ethnography museum, so both can be covered in one visit, and that arrangement is better because together they give a fuller picture of Transylvania than either does alone. The location is central, a walk from the main square and the Black Church. The visit is short, three quarters of an hour to an hour and a quarter.
