Rusețu farm, Buzău, century. the twentieth
Located in the northeast corner of Muntenia, at the intersection of Buzău, Brăila and Ialomița counties, Rușețu village is representative for the type settlements from the Romanian Plain, mainly inhabited by farmers and animal breeders. A peculiarity of the place is represented by the presence of "Munteni", transhumant mocani that brought their flocks from the mountain areas of Buzau and Brașov.

It is built on a stone foundation, it has a straw walls on the outside and a roof in four line waters with sheet covers. At the facade and on one of the sides it is provided with a low, open pillar, with geometrically carved wooden pillars. It draws the attention of the chromatic alternation of red-carrier (carpentry, sheet cover), white (walls) and blue (door, window frames, pump on the porch), which gives the house a particular note.
The plan of the house comprises a median tent and two rooms arranged symmetrically, one of them being intended for guests. Under the same roof, in the extension of the dwelling itself, the pantry with access from the living room and the foiled for animals added to the posterior facade were added. In the tent, an important place is occupied by the free hearth with large horn around which the simple pieces of furniture and a series of household or household items (chest and milk for milk were placed, a little butter, donut for milking, lily for squeezing the whey from the cheese). The guest room is highlighted by the wool fabrics (appearance and beds for beds) and the cotton and cotton wipes, richly decorated with geometric, vegetable or zoomorphic motifs.
