The Romanian Peasant Museum in Dragomiresti, Maramures is the only museum in the country dedicated to the Romanian peasant. Here you can find out how they worked and cared for: good mother, mother or sister, and here you will hear the most fantastic stories, myths and local legends of Maramures. Vi tells them, like no other, Maria Zubaşcu, the most authentic guide you'll ever meet. The Romanian Peasant Museum in Dragomiresti is located in an old traditional wooden house built between 1720 and 1721. You will recognize by far the imposing sculpted gate, the frightened faces of the waiting women in the yard and the pot with pots - would find a girl to be married. The house lived Ileana Chişului (74 years old) until the death. Although she was a fine woman, she is said to have remained unmarried because her husband was not born; so the red pot still stands in the yard at the top of the pot with pots. The museum opened its doors to visitors in 2001, after the death of Ilene Chis. The transformation of the house into the museum was the initiative of the folk collector and writer Nicoara Timis, a relative of the house host. He resisted all of this house being demolished, thus saving in the center of Dragomiresti the most representative traditional Romanian house in which the woman was a true generation, generation after generation.
