Ethnographic Museum

Posted by Travelmagpie 4 August 2011

We visited the Pestera Ursilor (cave with cave bear skeletons) at Chiscau and came across the Ethnographic Museum of Mr and Mrs Flutur. They have been collecting farming and household objects for several decades and the place is a treasure trove of everything associated with a rural way of life long since gone in most of Europe. Mr Flutur is a wonderful guide. This was one of many highlights during a month driving through Romania.

From Oradea travel south on the E79 to Beius, then continue south on the E79, turning left to Chiscau.
