processing, two churches and embellishing objects or pagan origins – crosses (found in the countryside usually around
crossroads).
Most houses in Transylvania have a porch, are covered with shingle, the walls are made out of wooden columns. The floor is
made out of battered dirt and are founded on stone plinth. Every column, beam or rail is sculpted with traditional Romanian
motifs. Many exhibits are surrounded by a fence, made out of birch or out of processed wood planks. Many have authentic,
heavily decorated gates.

All households are furnished, tooled up and decorated with authentic objects from the same area the house was. The elements
used by the peasant for remodeling are: ceramic plates, towels hanged on the walls, religious glass icons, dowry chests, wool
and cotton fabrics obtained in the folk household.
The Transylvanian household was generally comprised of: the house, a barn with a stable (or a shed), a larder, a pigpen, a
