The National Museum of the Romanian Peasant reopened last week, following an extensive consolidation and rehabilitation process that began in 2016. Culture Minister Natalia Intotero said during the ceremony that the institution represents "a place of faith, tradition and authentic folk art". The minister added: "The reopening of this space represents a reaffirmation of our commitment to protect, preserve and valorise Romania's cultural heritage. It is an essential landmark in the Romanian cultural landscape, where the past and the present dialogue through objects, stories and emotion".
• Investment of over 6 million euros
The rehabilitation works targeted the structure, architecture and technical systems, with the total investment amounting to 6,321,163 euros, an amount that included both design and execution. The reopening took place in the presence of government officials, ambassadors, parliamentarians and representatives of cultural institutions, marking the end of an important stage in the life of one of the most prestigious museum institutions in Romania.
• A museum with tradition and international prestige
With a museum history that dates back to 1875, the museum was founded as an autonomous institution in 1906 and has been operating in its current building since 1912. It is a point of reference for traditional Romanian culture and the only museum institution in Romania to be awarded the EMYA (European Museum of the Year) Award in 1996.
