Museum of Ethnography and Popular Art - Târgu Mureș
The museum is located in the Toldalagi Palace, one of the most important monuments of the city dating from the 18th century. The museum's heritage contains valuable ethnographic collections, from popular costumes and interior textiles to wooden objects, ceramics, metal and bone objects, as well as religious cult objects, wooden and glass icons or contemporary art creations. The first acquisitions of ethnographic objects from the collections of the ethnography section were made by Aurel Filimon at the beginning of the 20th century. The enrichment of the museum’s patrimony was continued through other acquisition campaigns that aimed at completing the ethnographic collections, in order to represent all the ethnographic areas of Mureş county (the Transylvanian Plain, the Târnava valleys, Gurghiu Valley, Upper Mureş Valley, Niraj Valley). Ethnographic exhibitions, with various themes are an expression of interculturality, of coexistence between different nationalities and ethnic groups in this region.
