Csángó Ethnographical Museum

After the regime change in 1989, the focus on the Csángó-Hungarians became more and more. As a result, not only their unique folk music, folk costumes and folk customs, but also elements of their material culture became the focus of interest. The Csángó costumes, everyday and ritual objects of use, lead us into an interesting and precious world.

The collection contains pieces from the traditional interiors of Lespezi, Oituz Bacau, Pustiana, and the workshop of the potter Gabor Raymund. The collection includes home textiles, carpets, wool tapestry, rugs, towels, icons and religious representations, pottery from Oituz and Frumoasa. Most objects are related to the essential moments of the sacred and profane life of Moldovan Csangos, from birth to death: for example they include objects related to customs, everyday and sacred life, traditional garb for the rites of passage, art of weaving, sacred objects (prayer books, songs, rosaries, etc.), musical instruments, symbols of baptism, wedding and funeral.
