Sighetu Marmației, Village Museum - on of the most interesting sights in this nice town in Northern Romania. We visited the place on the fourth day of our family road trip to the region in August 2015.
Skanzen, Máramarossziget - a város egyik legszebb látnivalója, számos eredeti faépülettel, melyek annyira jellemzőek Máramarosra. 2015. augusztusában jártunk itt, családi autós kirándulásunk negyedik napján.
SIGHET VILLAGE MUSEUM
Founded in 1981, Sighet Village Museum is the largest and most complex display of the traditional Maramures village and the rural artisanal techniques from this region. The basic concept of the museum is the arrangement of the homesteads around the church, as in Maramures villages, all the streets and paths leading towards it. The church (errected in 1621 in Oncesti) is situated on a hill thus overviewing the entire community and showing once more the importance of religion in Maramures. The museum holds over 30 homesteads (the oldest ones dating since 16th century) together with their appurtenances and traditional equipments: stable, barn, well, oil press or carriage. Some of the houses have the original furniture and accesories: the stove, the pottery, kitchen tools, weaving loom or toddler swing. Visitors can admire and understand different building techniques depending on the Maramures region where the houses were errected and also based on the century they were built in. Houses from Borsa, Ruscova, Mara-Cosau, Campulung la Tisa, Sapanta or Iza Valley areas are displayed, among them tourists being able to withness hungarian, jewish and ukrainian households.
