Boian Plain Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Drăgănești-Olt, the Boian Plain Museum feels less like a formal institution and more like a local secret. Its unassuming facade gives way to rooms that hum with the ancient stories of one of Romania's most significant Neolithic cultures. You'll find yourself face-to-face with the Boian people, whose sophisticated pottery and tools laid the groundwork for civilization here thousands of years ago. It’s a profoundly intimate look at the deep roots of this region.
Collection Highlights
The star exhibits are the elegant, dark-burnished pottery adorned with intricate spiral and meander patterns. Alongside these are delicate obsidian blades and haunting clay figurines, which provide a tangible connection to the daily lives and spiritual beliefs of these early farmers.
