摘要:Crișana Region is a historic region in the north-western part of
Romania, rich in cultural heritage and traditions and a small, yet valuable part of
this heritage can be found exhibited in the ethnographic museums from the rural
areas. The aim of our study is to draw attention upon these museums, which are
small museums, usually organized at the initiative of local people in their own
houses or in old houses of deceased relatives (the case of Muzeul satului din Finiș –
Finiș Village Museum). The collections are of various sizes, containing older and
newer objects belonging to them or to other members of the community, however,
the common issue which characterizes these museums is that they are all very
eclectic, most often unorganized collections. We also made a cartographic
representation of their distribution in the territory, so they could be easily located
by those interested in this type of ethnographic cultural heritage.
