Buzău County's Museum
About This Museum
Nestled in the tranquil Castanilor Alley, the Buzău County Museum has been the cultural heart of the city for generations. Its journey began in the early 20th century, evolving from a modest collection into a treasure trove that tells the rich, layered story of this part of Romania. You'll find everything from ancient Dacian artifacts and stunning folk costumes to a surprisingly captivating geology section. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose an afternoon, moving quietly from room to room, each one revealing a new piece of the local puzzle.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the 'Vasile Voiculescu' memorial collection, which offers an intimate look into the life of the beloved Romanian writer. The archaeology wing is particularly strong, featuring impressive Geto-Dacian pottery and metalwork excavated from local sites. For many, however, the star attraction is the vibrant display of traditional Buzău textiles and folk art, their colors and patterns still feeling alive with history.
