Banat Village Museum in Timisoara, Romania

Banat Village Museum in Timisoara, Romania

This past weekend we visited the Banat Village Museum, even though we visited this place more than two years ago, we chose to visit it again this weekend because a charity event was taking place inside the museum.

And yes, we wanted to help raise funds for the oncology hospital in the city.

But before getting here we had to drive for about an hour and twenty minutes by car, the museum has its own parking lot but being this event in progress when we got there the parking lot was full, I hardly found a place to leave my car.

Arriving at the entrance I had the first pleasant surprise, on the occasion of this charity event the entrance to the museum was free, and from what I read in other days the price of a ticket would have been 20lei/4euro/person.

On Mondays and Tuesdays the museum is closed and on Wednesdays-Saturdays it is open from 10-18 and on Sundays from 12-20.

The second pleasant surprise or rather surprise for the taste buds, hehe, in the back of the museum a special space was created for several teams who competed in cooking.

And yes, there were at least six teams that cooked traditional Romanian and Hungarian dishes.

The concept was commendable, each visitor could order a serving of each dish, depending on how hungry you were, and the price for what you ordered consisted of a donation you made to the city's cancer hospital.

One of the teams that cooked especially to raise funds for this hospital were the bikers of the city, who offered in addition to the sensational taste of food and a show with their motorcycles.

Now that we have tasted some of these delicious dishes let's go and visit what he is famous for.

The Banat Village Museum in Timișoara is the only ethnographic museum in Romania that includes the civic center of the village, consisting of the Town Hall, Church, School, National House (for cultural purposes) and pub, where most of the cultural-educational and scientific activities of a locality take place.

Following an initiative launched by the Association of former deportees in the Bărăgan, a faithful replica of a beaten earth house, covered with straw, as the deportees were forced to build in the middle of the fields, was built in the premises of the Banat Village Museum. The house consists of two rooms - a living room and a kitchen - furnished with little more than the things the displaced men managed to take with them.

Also here inside the museum we visited one of the oldest wooden churches in Romania, built somewhere in 1746, it is still functional today, more we saw that here we officiate weddings in an amazing environment.

I spent a few hours visiting many traditional houses from different parts of Romania and yes I can say that I am richer after this visit because I discovered many new things that I didn't know before.

My dears, our visit today in the Banat Village Museum has come to an end and until next time, stay well.

THE END!
