County Museum of Ethnography and Folklore, Ethnographic museum in Baia Mare, Romania.
The County Museum of Ethnography and Folklore is an ethnographic museum in Baia Mare showcasing traditional life in the Maramureş region. It features four exhibition rooms along with a Rural Museum section and a Pavilion Section housed in a former Summer Theatre building.
The museum collection began in 1899 through the Baia Mare Museum Association, with its ethnography exhibition opening publicly in 1978. This long development reflects the ongoing commitment to preserving the region's cultural heritage.
The museum displays regional crafts including weaving, pottery, and woodworking as they were passed down through generations in local communities. Visitors can observe how these techniques shaped the everyday lives of people in the Maramureş area.
The museum is located on Dealul Florilor Street and is relatively easy to find, with two main exhibition areas to explore. Visitors should allow time for both locations to see everything properly.
One of the collection's most notable pieces is a wooden church from Chechiş dating to 1630, relocated to the Dealul Florilor site in 1939. This ancient structure gives visitors a direct sense of religious architecture from earlier centuries.
