The Center for Studies in Folklife and Traditional Culture of the County of Dolj
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Craiova, this center is a vibrant portal into the soul of Oltenia. It feels less like a formal museum and more like stepping into a well-loved, communal attic filled with regional treasures. The focus here is squarely on the living traditions of Dolj County, celebrating everything from intricate folk costumes to the tools and crafts of daily village life. You'll find an engaging mix of textiles, ceramics, and wooden artifacts that tell the story of the local people.
