Muzeul Etnografic din Rimetea (Torockó), situat în clădirea Primăriei, este unic și are o importanță deosebită pentru-că el oglindește o lume dispărută, care acum nu mai există. La sfârșitul secolului al XIII-lea, în această zonă locuită de secui, au fost aduși meșteri austrieci pentru exploatarea minereului de fier și prelucrarea avansată a fierului. Localitatea a evoluat rapid, devenind foarte cunoscută prin produsele sale de fier, de o calitate deosebită, vândute în Transilvania și în Ungaria. Localitatea atinge apogeul în secolele XVII și XVIII, devenind un important centru meșteșugăresc, comercial dar și cultural. De-a lungul secolelor XIV - XIX s-a produs un metisaj cultural și etnografic unic între populația secuiască și cea germană, rezultând ceva aparte care nu este nici maghiar, nici german. Epuizarea minereului de fier în secolul al XIX-lea a dus și la decăderea completă a localității. Au rămas însă unice amintiri ....
The Rimetea (Torockó) Ethnographic Museum, located in the building of the Town Hall, is unique and has a special importance for that it mirrors a missing world that is no longer there. At the end of the 13th century, in this area inhabited by the Szeklers, Austrian craftsmen were brought in for the exploitation of iron ore and the advanced processing of iron. The locality evolved rapidly, becoming well-known by its iron products, of outstanding quality, sold in Transylvania and Hungary. The settlement reaches its apogee in the 17th and 18th centuries, becoming an important craftsmanship, commercial and cultural center. Throughout the 14th and 19th centuries, a unique cultural and ethnographic melting between the Szekler and the German population, resulting in something special that is neither Hungarian nor German. The depletion of iron ore in the 19th century led to the complete decline of the locality. But there are memories that remain....

Walk in Brasov - visiting Transylvania # 5. The Weavers' Bastion - Bastionul Tesatorilor.
The bastion was built in two phases between 1421-1436 and 1570-1573. Part of it collapsed in 1701, thus it was reconstructed in 1750 and restored in 1910. The hexagon shaped building occupies 1.616 sq.metres and its thick (1.5-3m ) battered walls also have loopholes for pouring tar. On the ground floor there are crevices for cannons. On the interior side of the walls there are 3-4 storey hallways. In 1800 two other constructions were built for the guilt, while in 1807, when the bastion lost its protective function a watch house was built to the entrance. The year 1908 brings along changes and the bastion becomes the scene of more and more cultural events. Due to its excellent acoustic even opera nights were held here. Since 1950 it houses a museum. The permanent exhibition entitled 'Brasov castle and the Bársza country fortresses' displays weapons from the middle ages, products made by the guilds, the scale model of the city in the middle ages, made by Friedrich Herman in 1896, as well as the scale model of Schei.

Muzeul etnografic IOAN GRAMADA Ethnographic Museum, Part. 4 (Câmpulung Moldovenesc, Romania)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
Partea a IV-a: Camera mare - Part 4: The Big Room
În acest videoclip, Dl. Ioan Grămadă, realizatorul muzeului, ne poveste despre camera mare, numită și camera de curat, sau camera de oaspeți, situată în vechea casă bătrânească. În tradiția bucovineană, această cameră nu era destinată locuirii cotidiene, ci avea rolul de a etala bogăția proprietarului. Camera adăpostește în prezent și multe exponate de mare valoare.
Uimitoarea colecție etnografică situată în partea estică a orașului Câmpulung Moldovenesc împlinește anul acesta 40 de ani de când a fost inițiată de creatorul ei, domnul Ioan Grămadă. Cele 10.740 de exponate sunt grupate tematic în 14 săli și 13 spații de expunere acoperind cam tot ce înseamnă tradiția, istoria, meșteșugurile, spiritualitatea, arta tradițională, învățământul, cultura și viața de zi a bucovinenilor, dar nu numai a lor. Senzația este copleșitoare când exponatele prind viață în narațiunea ghizilor noștri, domnul Grămadă și soția dumnealui, ducându-ne de-a lungul istoriei din cele mai vechi timpuri până în zilele noastre, purtându-ne prin Bucovina, dar și pe alte meleaguri îndepărtate. Văzând exponatele și ascultând spusele lor refacem o întreagă lume, în bună parte acum dispărută, cu conexiuni dintre cele mai neașteptate. O lecție de cultură autentică, originală, redând inteligența și dragostea de frumos a bucovinenilor și a celor doi colecționari care i-au valorificat moștenirea. Pentru a înțelege mai bine, vă invit să urmăriți cu atenție subtitrarea.
In this video, Mr. Ioan Gramada, the museum's creator, tells us about ”the big room”, also called ”the clean room”, or ”the guest room”, located in the old house. In the Bucovina tradition, this room was not meant for everyday living, it was meant to show the wealth of the owner. The room now houses many exhibits of great value.
The amazing ethnographic collection located in the eastern part of Câmpulung Moldovenesc celebrates now 40 years since it was initiated by its creator, Mr. Ioan Grămadă. The 10,740 exhibits are thematically grouped in 14 halls and 13 exhibition spaces, covering almost everything that tradition, history, craftsmanship, spirituality, traditional art, education, culture and day-to-day life of Bucovina people, but not only their own. The sensation is overwhelming when the exhibits come to life in the narrative of our guides, Mr. Gramada and his wife, leading us through history from the oldest times to the present day, carrying us through all Bucovina but also on other distant lands. Seeing the exhibits and listening to their words, we rebuild a whole world, now largely gone, with the most unexpected connections. An authentic, original culture lesson, expressing the intelligence and the love for beauty of the Bucovinians and of the two collectors who have valorised the old cultural inheritance. For a better understanding, I invite you to watch the subtitles carefully.
The Ethnography Museum Bicaz
- The History and Ethnography museum from Bicaz was founded in 1958 as a result of the complex research studies made by the Romanian Academy in the area of Lake Dimitrie Leonida. Since 1966 the museum is located in the building of the ex village-theatre named Ion Kalinderu. The building was made at the beginning of the XX century and its a part of the national list of architectural monuments. The permanent exhibition of the museum is organized on three main spaces which illustrates the history of the Bistrita Valley and also the 102 paintings donated to the city of Bicaz by painter Iulia Halaucescu.
On top of the Tampa Mountain, Brasov, amazing cityscapes (1/2) #Brasov - ????️ Travel video
Tâmpa is a mountain, part of the Postăvarul Massif, located in the southern part of the Eastern Carpathians and almost entirely surrounded by the city of Braşov. Its elevation is 960 m, almost 400 m above the city.
Most of the mountain is a declared nature reserve, due to the rare animal and plant species that are found there: a rare Liverleaf variety (Hepatica transsilvanica), birds, 17 rare wasp species, butterflies (35% of Romanian butterfly species are here), bears (the brown bear is a protected species, for the conservation of which the European Community has a special responsibility due to the low proportion of its area within the EU).
The view from the summit is absolutely spectacular, offering a panoramic landscape of the city; on a clear day, the entire Burzenland is visible. (Burzenland is a historic and ethnographic area in southeastern Transylvania, Romania with a mixed population of Romanians, Germans and Hungarians.)
Tampa mountain is not only an amazing tourist attraction, but it's also one of the most legendary places in Brasov.
The best known are those that talk about the existence of a large underground lake or the fact that there are some tunnels that break through the mountain.
If the lake was not discovered, the existence of some tunnels dug in the mountain is real. Today, only one of them is practical and links the former Council House (today Brașov County Museum of History) to one of the towers of the old city. The others have fallen over time and are closed.
Recorded in early spring, during our trip in Transylvania.

Best Museum in Bucharest - Village Museum Muzeul Satului
A great budget day out in Bucharest is to visit the incredible Village Museum in the north of the city.
The Museum displays over 300 structures and buildings, showcasing traditional Romanian architecture from all regions of Romania. It is an amazing open air ethnographic museum set in the beautiful surroundings of Herăstrău Park, also known as King Michael I Park.
I spent over 6 hours wandering this space on a wonderful autumn day, admiring the wide variety of traditional Romanian buildings. If you want a taste of what village life is like in Romania, then this is the place to come without leaving Bucharest.
This is one of Bucharest's best attractions and at only 15 Lei makes for a very good value day out in the city.
