Moişeni, Certeze commune, Satu Mare county
The house of Moiș Văsâi of Ion Cobuț from the village of Moișeni, Certeze commune, was transferred to the Village Museum in 1936. Coming from the northwest of the country, from an isolated type settlement, it is representative for the popular architecture in Oaș Country.
From the entrance to the household we notice the originality of the gate called "Vraniță cu Boc" which, although massive, can be opened and closed with great ease, the whole structure relying on a hub buried in the ground. Next to the house, there is also a pantry with a porch ("Găbănaș"), a pea for cattle, a cot for pigs and a high cross with a protective role ("prayer"). Both the annexes of the household and the inventory of the house in the museum illustrate the main occupations of the inhabitants: raising sheep and cattle, agriculture, fruit growing and work in forest.
The house, dating from 1780, was built on a foundation of river boulders and has the walls of two or three oak "fur", carved with the security and joined at the heads in the right notch ("blockbau"). The roof has four waters with very fast slopes, and the cover is made of oak drain. On the ridge there is a small conical roof ("hornet"), built on a car wheel and protected by a cross. Of a remarkable artistic value is the carved and carved decoration, found both on the entrance gate and on the porch railing, on the frames of the doors and windows of the house, as well as on the annexed constructions.

The plan of the house comprises three rooms: the median tent, the chamber and the living room ("stove"). At the entrance to the house there is a massive oak door, provided with a secret wood lock. In the tent, we find the war of tissue and the different tools necessary for the textile household industry. In the living room, it draws the attention "oven with the style", plated with green ceramic tiles. The inventory is rich, in bright colors, which creates a cheerful and warm harmony. The carved furniture, the tall bed and the swing of the child, the fabrics dominated by bright red, the ceramic from the famous Customs and icons worked in Nicula are noted.
