Muzeul Satului din Baia Mare reprezintă secția în aer liber a Muzeului de Etnografie și Artă Populară Maramureș și este situat în partea nordică a orașului, la baza Dealului Florilor. Exponatele sunt reprezentate îndeosebi prin gospodării tradiționale, alături de care întâlnim și alte construcții care participă la viața socială (biserică, școală) și economică (prese de ulei) a satului, grupate după patru zone etnografice din partea nord-vestică a României, cunoscute sub denumirea de ”țări”: Lăpuș, Chioar, Codru și Maramureș. Muzeul Satului este și un muzeu al lumii lemnului deoarece toate exponatele (casele, anexele gospodărești, biserica, școala, oloinițele) sunt făcute din lemn. De remarcat că toate construcțiile, inclusiv biserica, sunt autentice, fiind luate, practic salvate din satele lor de proveniență, transportate, reconstruite și restaurate aici cu o deosebită atenție. Moștenirea arhitecturală a lumii vechi țărănești este completată cu un bogat tezaur de obiecte pe care le găsim în aproape fiecare casă și care se referă atât la mobilier, cît și la ustensilele de uz casnic sau gospodăresc, precum și la tot felul de articole textile, ceramice, de fier etc. folosite de străbunii noștri și care încearcă se reconstituie lumea satului de odinioară.
The Village Museum in Baia Mare is the open-air section of the Maramureş Ethnography and Folk Art Museum and is located in the northern part of the city at the base of the Flower Hill (Dealul Florilor). The exhibits are mainly represented by traditional households, along with other buildings that participate in the social life (church, school) and economic (oil presses) of the village, grouped by four ethnographic areas in the northwestern part of Romania, named lands: Lapus, Chioar, Codru and Maramures. The Village Museum is also a museum of the world of wood because all the exhibits (houses, household annexes, church, school, oil presses) are made of wood. It should be noted that all buildings, including the church, are authentic, being taken, basically saved from their villages of origin, transported, reconstructed and restored here with special attention. The architectural heritage of the old peasant world is complemented by a rich treasure of objects that we find in almost every house, which refers to furniture, household utensils, as well as to all kinds of textiles, ceramics , iron etc. used by our ancestors and trying to reconstitute the world of the old village.

Muzeul Etnografic CIOCĂNEȘTI The Ethnographic Museum (Bucovina, Romania)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
Muzeul Etnografic, situat vis-a-vis de Muzeul Ouălor Încondeiate, ne întroduce în lumea tradițiilor seculare care au dus faima comunei Ciocănești și au făcut din ea un reper turisitic esențial pe harta Bucovinei. Exponatele muzeului sunt distribuite în camere care reproduc activitățile de bază ale sătenilor și anume: atelier de tâmplărie, fierăria tradițională, stâna, plutăritul, atelier de țesătorie, bucătăria (gastronomie) și o cameră țărănească. Muzeul ne este prezentat de doamna muzeograf Marilena Niculiță care permanent ne atrage atenția asupra vechilor tradiții, dintre care multe încă se mai respectă în Ciocănești, asupra exponatelor funcționale (de exemplu un întreg atelier de țesătorie), a exponatelor reale care încă se folosesc în activitatea obișnuită (de exemplu cele de la stână) și la modul cum toate acestea sunt valorificate turistic. Ciocănești este singura localitate din țară unde ocazional (la Festivalul Păstrăvului) se mai practică plutăritul (în scop turisitic). În afară de Festivalul Păstrăvului (la începutul lunii august), amintit și care are o varietate foarte mare de activități specifice, comuna Ciocănești, deși nu este așa de mare, mai găzduiește încă două festivaluri tradiționale, și anume cel al Ouălor Încondeiate (în perioada Paștelui) și al tradițiilor din perioada Crăciun - Anul Nou. Prin casele și clădirile sale decorate cu modele luate de pe îmbrăcămintea tradițională și de pe ouăle încondeiate, Ciocăneștiul este o localitate rurală unică în România și probabil și cea mai frumoasă.
The Ethnographic Museum, situated vis-a-vis of Easter Painted Eggs Museum, introduces us to the world of secular traditions that have made the fame of Ciocanesti commune and have made it an essential tourist landmark on the map of Bucovina. The exhibits of the museum are distributed in rooms that reproduce the villagers' basic activities, namely: carpentry, traditional blacksmith, sheepfold, timber rafting, weaving workshop, the kitchen (gastronomy) and a peasant room. The museum is presented by the Mrs. museographer Marilena Niculita who constantly draws our attention to the old traditions, many of which are still respected in Ciocanesti, to the functional exhibits (eg a whole workshop of weaving), to the actual exhibits that are still used in the ordinary activity (for example those from the sheepfold) and how they are valorified for turist purposes. Ciocanesti is the only locality in the country where occasionally (at the Trout Festival) is practiced the timber rafting. In addition to the Trout Festival (in early August), having a very large variety of specific activities, Ciocanesti commune, although not so large, still hosts two traditional festivals, namely of the Easter Painted Eggs (during the Easter) and that of the Christmas - New Year traditions. Through its homes and its buildings decorated with patterns taken from traditional clothing and from Easter painted eggs, Ciocnesti is a unique rural locality in Romania and probably the most beautiful.
Muzeul Obiceiurilor Populare din Bucovina - The Museum of Folk Customs in Bucovina (Gura Humorului)
Activați subtitrarea în românește !
”The Museum of Folk Customs in Bucovina”, located in the center of the city Gura Humorului, reconstruct according to the calendar, the sequence of customs and traditions of Bucovina. Once we pay a small entrance fee (photography allowed) and see some traditional items, we go upstairs where the museum is organized in five halls. The first two rooms reconstruct winter traditions performed in authentic homesteads: the magical practices of the night of St. Andrew (November 30th), Christmas (December 24th) with carol singers and ritual dinner, New Year (December 31) with groups of waits and masked ugly. In the great next hall, following in the village street, we go through the dizzying habits and spring rituals of which notice a blacksmith representing February, dedicated to craftsmen who make agricultural tools purified by fire and then, by an archaic apiary, Alexii day (17 March) when the new apiar year begins and the insects revives. We see chariot and plow signifying all agrarian rituals accompanying drawing the first furrow at the beginning of March. Next door, dressed in authentic costumes from the nineteenth century, we see all the souls gathered in front of the village church, having in baskets covered by embroidered towels, Passover ritual dishes to be sanctified. Pastoral year begins to St. George (April 23) with numerous rituals, exemplified by vessels dairy adorned with spring flowers. To St. Elias (July 20th), in mid-summer pastoral, in the past were organized pastoral parties, celebrations of the sun worship, now transformed into fairs. Museum visitor is invited to enter into a traditional sheepfold. To St. Demetrius (October 26) pastoral summer ends and thus it closes the circle of Bucovina popular calendar. Downstairs, one hall houses Bucovina-born French painter collection of George Cotos, promoter of current non-figurative. Another hall houses the (temporary?!) exhibition Chromatic Confessions of the painter Radu Bercea from Gura Humorului.
Muzeul Obiceiurilor Populare din Bucovina, situat în zona centrală a orașului Gura Humorului, reconstituie calendaristic succesiunea obiceiurilor și tradițiilor populare bucovinene. După ce achităm mica taxă de intrare (fotografiatul este permis) și vedem câteva obiecte tradiționale, urcăm la etaj unde muzeul este organizat în cinci săli. Primele două săli reconstituie tradiții de iarnă desfășurate în autentice gospodării țărănești: practicile magice din noaptea Sfântului Andrei (30 noiembrie), Crăciunul (24 decembrie) cu colinde și bucatele ritualice, Noul An (31 decembrie) cu grupuri de mascați și urători. În marea sală următoare, mergând pe ”ulița satului”, parcurgem în ritm amețitor obiceiuri și ritualuri de primăvară dintre care remarcăm o fierărie reprezentând luna februarie (Făurar) dedicată meșterilor care fac unelte agricole și le purifică prin foc și apoi, printr-o stupină arhaică, ziua de Alexii (17 martie) când începe noul an apicol și reînvie insectele. Vedem carul și plugul semnificând începerea anului agrar în luna martie și toate ritualurile care însoțesc tragerea primei brazde. Alăturat, îmbrăcați în costume populare autentice din secolul XIX, vedem toată suflarea satului adunată în fața bisericii, având în față coșuri (păscărițe) acoperite de ștergare brodate și în care au pus bucate rituale de Paște pentru a fi sfințite. Anul pastoral începe de Sfântul Gheorghe (23 aprilie) cu numeroase ritualuri, exemplificat prin vasele pentru produse lactate împodobite cu flori de primăvară. De Sfântul Ilie (20 iulie), la mijlocul verii pastorale, demult se organizau nedei, serbări de adorare a soarelui, acum transformate în târguri. Vizitatorul muzeului este invitat să între într-o stână tradițională. De Sfântul Dumitru (26 octombrie) se încheie vara pastorală și astfel se închide cercul calendarului popular bucovinean. La parter, o sală găzduieşte colecţia pictorului francez de origine română (bucovinean) George Cotos, promotor al curentului nonfigurativ. O altă sală găzduiește expoziția (temporară ?!) ”Confesiuni cromatice” a pictorului Radu Bercea din Gura Humorului.

Ceramica neagră MARGINEA Black Pottery (Bucovina, Romania)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
The most famous ceramic center in Moldova is located at Marginea (Bucovina, Suceava County), its emblem being the black colour ceramic that is obtained without the use of paints. Tradition of pottery is old at Marginea, descending to 1500. Some authors appreciate that the black ceramics at Marginea is a Dacian heritage, given the presence of this type of pottery in some Geto-Dacian and Neolithic archaeological sites. The craft of black ceramics has been passed along generations, and now there are only few potters in Marginea. The most famous of them, the Magopat family, established a ceramic complex in the western part of the commune, where there are workshops, shops and a restaurant with local specifics (formerly ethnographic museum). The workshops are also a tourist landmark, and visitors can see live how clay turns miraculously into a pot. The secret of black ceramics lies in the way of burning. Thus, towards the end of the burning, all the openings of the furnace are closed, and the burning continues to be stifled, the smoke impregnating the surface of the vessels. Grinding with a quartz-rich stone gives a great metallic gloss. At the disposal of the visitors of the ceramic complex there are shops where they can admire and buy a lot of ceramic articles, from pots for stuffed cabbage rolls boiling, to fine decorative objects. Also, many other handicraft products are exhibited in these shops.
Cel mai vestit centru ceramic din Moldova se găsește la Marginea (Bucovina, județul Suceva), emblema lui fiind ceramica de culoare neagră care se obține fără utilizarea vopselelor. Tradiția olăritului este veche la Marginea, coborând spre anul 1.500. Unii autori apreciază că ceramica neagră de la Marginea este o moștenire dacică, avându-se în vedere prezența acestui tip de ceramică în unele situri arheologice geto-dace și neolitice. Meșteșugul ceramicii negre s-a transmis de-alungul generațiilor, în prezent în Marginea existând un număr de restrâns de familii de olari. Cei mai cunoscuți dintre ei, familia Magopăț, a înființat în partea vestică a comunei un centru ceramic în care există ateliere, magazine și un restaurant cu specific local (fost muzeu etnografic). Atelierele sunt și un reper turistic, vizitatorii putând vedea pe viu etapele principale de realizare a ceramicii negre. ”Secretul” ceramicii negre constă în modalitatea de ardere. Astfel, spre sfârșitul arderii, se astupă toate gurile cuptorului, iar arderea continuă înăbușit, fumul împregnând suprafața vaselor. Prin șlefuire cu o piatră bogată în cuarț (”cremene”) se obține un luciu metalic deosebit. Vizitatorii centrului ceramic au la dispoziție magazine în care pot admira și cumpăra o mulțime de articole ceramice, de la vase utilitare (oale pentru sarmale) la fine obiecte decorative. De asemenea, în aceste magazine seunt expuse și multe alte produse de artizanat specifice zonei.
The Museum of Wood in Campulung Moldovenesc
We found the Museum of Wood, Muzeul Arta Lemnului in Campulung Moldovenesc to be very interesting. Exhibits range from farm implements and tools to beautiful furniture, in both rustic and sophisticated styles. Also, there are wagons, sleighs, looms, musical instruments, scuptures, even a wooden saddle. If an object was made of wood in Romania, it can probably be found at this fascinating Museum. Photos taken by me, during our Romanian trip in May, 2006.

Bianca - a pretty little girl from Moldovitza, Romania
In quest of Bianca, I visited the monastery Humor.
Voievod Petru Rareş and his chancellor Teodor Bubuiog constructed Humor Monastery in 1530 . The monastery was built over the foundation of a previous monastery that dated from around 1415. The Humor monastery was closed in 1786 and was not reopened until 1990.
Humor is protected by a wooden stockade rather than a stone rampart, and lacks the characteristic spire - indicating that it was founded by a boyar, not the ruler. The belfry with a belvedere was erected in 1641, under Vasile Lupu's rule.
Humor was one of the first of Moldavian painted monasteries and, along with Voronet is probably the best preserved. The master painter responsible for Humor's frescoes, which were painted in 1535, is Toma of Suceava, the most famous church painter of the time.
Humor Monastery is now a small convent, served by nuns.

SUMMARY
=======
Transylvania is a historical region which today is located in central Romania. Bound on the east and south by its natural borders, the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended westward to the Apuseni Mountains. The term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also parts of the historical regions of Crișana and Maramureș, and occasionally the Romanian part of Banat.
The region of Transylvania is known for the scenery of its Carpathian landscape and its rich history. It also contains major cities such as Cluj-Napoca, Brașov, Sibiu, Târgu Mureș and Bistrița.
The Western world commonly associates Transylvania with vampires, due to the influence of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula and its many film adaptations.
