Clujul etnografic dezvăluie un colț de natură liniștit, cu detalii tradiționale încadrate de vegetație înflorită
Route theme: discovering the ancestral tradition in Cluj County.  

        Romanian culture is a box full of treasures on which the dust has long since settled. National prides such as folk costumes, carefully crafted and decorated wooden houses and even the crafts our ancestors once practiced have been collected inside the county’s museums. The Ethnographic Cluj takes you on a journey of the senses, from traditions and customs that delight the eye, to verses and thoughts on paper that entice the soul.

       It is said that eternity was born in the village, and the museums in the county can only confirm this. Through this route we can discover that in Transylvania we don’t need a clock because we have time.
