Muzeul de Etnografie

The museum is small but the exhibits are well laid out and in great condition. The focus is very much on the textile manufacture and clothing. What made this an excellent museum for me was the videos showing the various techniques for producing and working the textiles. What would make this a little better is some more contextual information about the culture outside of the textiles. A neat idea would be the ability to buy intro kits for some of the techniques (like cross stitch, embroidery etc). Could be great for the kids.

Cute little museum, the staff is very helpful even though very few materials are available in languages different than Romanian (and the app for the audio guide in EN needs fixing). All costumes and exhibits are in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and well cared for. I mostly went in to support a small local museum and found it well worth the time (between 0,5 and 1 hour) and money (2 EUR).

Fantastic experience, once again. It made me think of my grandaunt, who was a theatre tailor in Vienna before the end of WW2, then she took her atelier to the countryside. I loved the fact that they recreated an old rug making facility (fantastic craftsmanship and construction- a pleasure to watch). If you are not Romanian, and also don't speak any Roman languages or German (I do, so it wasn't a big issue)- you WILL need the audio guide. Also, I recommend buying the museum pass. The art and communism museums are next door- I recommend to also see them. If you take the pass, you can then see the art museum for free.

This is an outstanding, small museum. Items of daily life in Old Romania. Some great films and AV aids. Astonishing is the loom which eaves trim. The director can start it and you can watch it make trim. A nice gift shop selection as well. No foreign languages for displays.

Superb!

Absolutely worth visiting... while in Braşov!

Wonderful little museum, the staff is visibly passionate about etnography and will excitedly answer any questions you may have, you'll see exhibits from the three major local cultures - romanian, hungarian and saxon (german) as well as comprehensive information on traditional and early industrial textile production methods. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this museum if you're in the area.

I love this museum! There are two halls, and one of them seems recently renovated or added. The information is mostly displayed in Romanian, but you can find several guides in English. There are also interactive ways of presenting information: picture screens, videos etc. The admission is 5 lei for adults and there are discounts for students. There are nice local products for sale as well, accessibly priced. I bought an original martisor for 10 lei.
