Romanian costumes and Moroccan costumes

The National Museum of the Dimitrie Gusti Village, together with the National Foundation of Museums in Morocco and the Romanian Embassy in Morocco, organizes from September 25 to December 18 this year, in Rabat, atThe National Jewelery Museumfrom Rabat, the "Romanian Costumes and Moroccan Costumes" exhibition.

The exhibition brings to the fore the diversity of traditional women's wear and the accessories that highlight its aesthetic value. A number of 25 women's costumes from several ethnographic areas of the country of Muntenia, Banat, Oltenia, Transylvania, Moldova and Dobrogea dated St. century 19th - inc. century the twentieth. Among these, Saxon, Bulgarian, Turkish, Greek costumes will be represented as a testimony of the multiple ethnic influences. Along with these, the visiting public will have the opportunity to find the Aromanian costume (less known outside Europe), but also a selection of traditional jewelry that added shine and sophistication to the festive costume from the main ethnographic regions of Romania and that also emphasized the social role of the family from which the wearer of the suit came. Along with traditional costumes, ceramic pieces from Oltenia (wedding jugs and plates) will be presented in the exhibition, pottery being one of the first crafts practiced by people.

The dialogue created since the first exhibition organized at the Village Museum in Bucharest, between Morocco, through the embassy in Bucharest, and Romania, will continue in the beautiful capital of Morocco, Rabat. Along with the traditional Romanian costume, the caftan (piece of costume also found in the history of the Romanian costume, worn in the houses of the nobles or in the royal house) will emphasize and provoke the dialogue between two countries, whose old friendship is about to be welded through culture , that bridge that creates direct and lasting links between peoples who, although located in different geographical spaces, have common cultural elements. Romania was and still is a gateway between East and West, a two-way path, where values ​​circulated freely and influenced each other.

And we also do not forget and gladly emphasize this event - that on the National Day of Romania, on December 1, 2022, during the 17th session of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, in Rabat, it was adopted the decision regarding the inscription "The art of the high-necked shirt - an element of cultural identity in Romania and the Republic of Moldova" on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
