Beatiful Day for a visit

Wood Carvings

The typical Maramures village

Life beyond the fence

The oldest house around (1661)

Wood carvings over the gate

Love this texture

Straight up Maramures

Welcome!

Old Wood Cart

Old machinery for wringing out grapes

The Church

Inaugurated in 1981, The Maramures Village museum from Sighet is an open air one presenting the realities and history of rural Maramures (the North-Western part of Transylvania, my home region) to the ones willing to discover it.
Through its structure the museum creates an impression of a typical village from this region with wooden houses and wonderful carved gates in a great display of local rural art. The paths do converge in the end to a great wooden church as in all villages in Maramures.

skrammer Maramures is indeed probably the most interesting place to visit in Romania because here you can find most of the untainted (by the modern society) rural culture, clothing, art and celebrations. It is fun and different and the rural tourism is quite developed (People come here to spend some time at a farm and experience this type of living away from the stress and complications of a big city).
