Museum of Oltenia, Regional museum in Craiova, Romania.
The Museum of Oltenia contains three distinct buildings housing ethnography, history, archaeology, and natural history collections across Craiova's historic center.
Founded in 1915 as a regional museum of antiquities, the institution expanded with natural history collections in 1923 and achieved its current structure in 1928.
The ethnography section occupies a 15th-century building on Matei Basarab Street, presenting traditional artifacts and regional customs from the Oltenia region.
Visitors can explore over 240,000 exhibits distributed across three locations, each focusing on different aspects of regional heritage and natural sciences.
