Museum of Ethnography and Folk Art

The Museum of Ethnography and Folk Art is housed in Casa Ștefănescu, the oldest secular building in Câmpulung Muscel. The house was restored to plans by the architect Dumitru Ionescu Berechet. It was his doctoral project in architecture, and it won him a prize in 1928.

The building was donated to the Romanian Academy in 1948, and from 1952 it housed the History Museum. Since 1977 it has been home to the ethnography and folk art section, with a wide range of traditional Muscel costume, objects from traditional trades, peasant interiors typical of the area, a large ceramics collection and more.

In the museum courtyard you can also see a statue of a peasant woman in Muscel costume, by the sculptor Constantin Baraschi.
