The Ethnographic Museum is the oldest and largest open-air museum in Romania. It is also one of the oldest in Europe - it was founded before World War II in 1936. There are 272 buildings on its territory. Among them are houses, outbuildings, craft workshops, churches, a chapel, as well as a former inn.
The main purpose of the museum was to preserve and show the traditional life of the Romanian village. The oldest house dates from the 17th century, and the newest from the 19th century. Most of the buildings located here are original buildings from various parts of the country and transferred entirely to the museum. Individual copies are copies built from scratch. It is worth noting the differences between buildings from different areas, e.g. mountain areas and plains.
The open-air museum hosts exhibitions of works of art, both permanent and temporary, which are the result of cooperation with prestigious national museums. Workshops, fairs and markets also take place here.
