The museum grew from the initiative of Iustin Lehonschi, who at 14 began collecting his ancestors' costumes and objects because he could not find folk costumes for festivals. The collection was first shown in his home; since 2018 the local council has provided the former primary school building. It presents local ethnography and history of Miron Costin village.
