Romanian Peasant's Museum
The
Romanian Peasant's Museum, set up on February 5th, 1990, is regarded as the continuer
of certain museum traditions dating even as far back as 1875 when, as the
proposal of literary critic Titu Maiorescu, the first textile art section
"with tissues woven in the country" was founded as an annex of the
National Museum of Antiquities. On October 11th, 1906, thanks to the efforts
made by a large number of prominent personalities of the epoch, an autonomous
Romanian Folk Art Museum was finally set up.
The edifice is an expression of the new Romanian
style inspired from the old Brancovenesc style. The almost 90,000 exhibits which
belong to the patrimony of this museum constitute the richest folk art
collection in Romania. This genuine treasure of national and international
interest is being stored in keeping with rigorous scientific criteria.
