Ethnography Museum Piatra-Neamt

Born from people’s ability to perceive and appreciate cultural and natural values, the folk art in Neamț area expresses the peasants’ outlook and sensitivity, their aesthetic beliefs and their artistic refinement.

Maintaining a conservative character, by means of rules and canons kept in community awareness, the villagers have passed on down the generations the encoded and extremely rich language of folk art. The simple shapes and the balanced proportions, the sensible layout and decorations, the geometrical style of representations, the discrete and harmonious colours always impress the beholder.
