In 2026, the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania, through its outdoor section - the "Romulus Vuia" National Ethnographic Park in Cluj-Napoca, is going through a historic transformation phase. The Cluj County Council has recently announced the start of works for a comprehensive modernization and revitalization project aimed at transforming this space into a genuine "traditional vacation village".
The Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania holds the title of the first ethnographic museum in Romania, with a history that began under the guidance of researcher Romulus Vuia. Founded in 1922, the museum aimed to present and conserve the culture and traditions of the Romanian people, especially those of the Transylvania region.
Visitors can discover authentic rural architecture, represented by peasant households from areas such as Oaș, Maramureș, or the Transylvanian Plain. The ethnographic park also hosts spectacular 18th-century wooden churches, which are remarkable historical monuments.
The experience is immersive, offering the possibility to see old technical installations, such as water mills or oil presses, which testify to the ingenuity of our ancestors. Visitors can approach these installations and understand how they were built and used in the past.
The revitalization and modernization project of the "Romulus Vuia" Ethnographic Park aims to transform this space into a genuine "traditional vacation village". The goal is to keep alive the roots and identity of the Romanian village in an interactive and accessible way. The project promises to make the Ethnographic Park a place where time not only stands still but invites active exploration of culture.
In the context of 2026, this destination becomes a central point for tourists seeking authenticity and wanting to understand the evolution of the Transylvanian village from its origins to new concepts of sustainable cultural tourism. The "Romulus Vuia" Ethnographic Park is a place where visitors can relax in nature and receive a valuable lesson in living history and traditional Transylvanian architecture.
