RE: Folk Art Museum Of Moșna
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
What an interesting museum! It is full of many things that represent more than what we see, they are directly the representation of culture itself! It makes my skin crawl just thinking that each of those things were made by people, with their own beliefs, dreams, aspirations and goals, without even imagining that they would be, in the future, the referents of the societies to which they belonged. What an interesting museum.

Yes, it's very beautiful indeed and there are many other rural museums across Transylvania wherever there are Transylvanian Saxon Evangelical Lutheran churches (most of them dating back to the Middle Ages). They are in their hundreds across southern Transylvania. I was there visiting some when I was a teenager. Well worth the time. The nature is wonderful as well!
I fully agree with everything you said here and confirm it's true 😊
By the way, here's a great website on a lot of very interesting stories about Transylvanian Saxons by a great Romanian-Transylvanian Saxon blogger/writer (it also contains a free e-book, I think): https://povestisasesti.com
P.S.: I am right, the e-book is here: https://povestisasesti.com/ebooks/. I truly hope you'll like it! All the best and much respect! 😊
It was indeed an interesting one indeed, although they could have done better. Most likely in time they will add more to it, or at least I hope so.
Yes, well, the problem isn't that they did not do better (in my humble opinion) as it is the case of other Transylvanian Saxon rural museums, but rather the fact that the vast majority of Saxons left and those churches are quite abandoned (and, by extension, the rural museums attached to these churches).
The population of the country as a whole is decreasing, let alone the already dwindling numbers of Saxons in Transylvania (who were always a minority; a very important one in cultural and historical regards for me at least, but definitely demographically still a minority, which the Saxons themselves can confirm, as they did on multiple occasions before through their most renowned representatives). All the best!
What I meant by that was that some shelves, tables would have been better, than just place the objects on the floor.
Oh, yes, I see, then you are very correct. But the old Saxons remaining there in Transylvania and taking care of these museums and churches are weak I presume due to old age. Even that might be a huge effort your old people... I am in my late 20s and I have some back problems sometimes so I know how it can be... Just some personal thoughts on the matter, not necessarily 100% accurate for that case if you will. All the best!
