An international exhibition dedicated to Romanian traditions, coordinated by the Museum of the Moravian Wallachia Region, carried out in partnership with several cultural institutions in Romania, has recently been inaugurated at the Vsetín Castle in the Czech Republic, informs the spokesperson of the Maramures County Council (CJ), Amalia Babici Man, on Tuesday.
The event brought together local officials and diplomats, along with the representatives of the museums involved.
"The Romanian Embassy in the Czech Republic appreciated the exhibition as a true 'cultural bridge across centuries', highlighting the deep ties existing between Moravian Wallachia and the Romanian regions of Maramures, Crisana and Transylvania. The curator of the exhibition was Anamaria Nagy, on behalf of the Maramures Museum, who chose to present the craftsmanship of traditional Romanian masks abroad, joined by folk craftsman Vasile Susca, a Living Human Treasure," said Amalia Babici Man.
The manager of the Maramures Museum, Ana Mirela Barz, emphasised the value of folk heritage and the role played by the famous folk craftsman Vasile Tusca, the creator of the masks.
"This project is the result of an exemplary collaboration between four museums in Romania and the host institution in the Czech Republic. It is the expression of what museums can achieve when they pool their resources: knowledge, intercultural dialogue and cultural diplomacy. Heritage is not a nostalgic decoration, heritage is a strategic resource. It offers education, identity, cohesion, international reputation," said Ana Mirela Barz, in a post on her Facebook page.
Antoaneta Barta, Ambassador of Romania to the Czech Republic, and the Romanian Cultural Institute in Prague, were the organisers of the project.
The cultural event involved the participation of the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania, the County Museum of Ethnography and Folk Art of Maramures, and the Museum of the Cris Land of Oradea - Museum Complex.
