Romania in memory of the world. UNESCO World Heritage
At the 89th anniversary of the establishment, the National Museum of the Village "Dimitrie Gusti" proves once again the contribution to the designation of the most important elements of immaterial cultural heritage by the value of the cultural assets displayed in the exhibition entitledRomania in memory of the world. UNESCO World Heritage.
Also this year we celebrate 100 years since the first monographic campaign made in the spring of 1925 by Professor Dimitrie Gusti together with the teams of monographs in Goicea Mare, Dolj county. Following the research, a household in the village of Goicea Mică was transferred to the Village Museum, belonging to Ion Pomană Doljan. The interiors in the south of Oltenia are brightly colored, the corner with the bed in the guest room being adorned with textiles (bark, kilims, velvets) decorated with stripes, rhombuses, crosses and pistons, stars, avimorphic and vegetable motifs, giving the interior a special charm, as will have the opportunity to observe.
Unlike the living chromatics in the Oltenia Plain, Câmpu lui Neag, the household in the mountain area of Hunedoara county offers a refined sobriety. The furniture is simple, worked by local crafts (bed, bank with backrest, lava, chairs). In the clean room it draws attention to the peak with beautifully decorated ops, the shepherds made of horn wood with fine inlays and torso forks with "wings". Homemade textiles (hemp lepedeie, woolen, stubborn) revive the inner housing frame. The categories of wooden vessels used in the preparation and storage of dairy (few, spoons of sheep, poor, caffe) next to fabrics (traists and designs) talk about the prestige of an ancient occupation of the inhabitants: the shepherd.
Element registered in the UNESCO list of 2012, the Horezu ceramics presents specific features that differentiate it from all the others in the country. Work on the wheel, with the hand, the ceramics of Horezu has a special working science, inherited from generation to generation. The unique decorative process, the "jiravitul" is used exclusively by the potters from this Vâlcean center. Although the most famous decorative reason isCocoșul de Horezu, particularly interesting are the cuts withstars, snakes, trees, people, flowers, peacock tail, fish, life tree, double spiral, straight line, wavy line, leaf, belt, sun or spic.
The bark integrates into the large family of useful-decorative wool fabrics, intended to protect and ennoble the living space. The collection of the National Museum of the Village "Dimitrie Gusti" includes a significant number of carpets, lactare, look, cergi or tolls. May not by chance the exhibitionRomania in memory of the world. UNESCO World Heritage se deschide cu etalarea unui covor din Maramureș, țesut în a doua jumătate a secolului al XIX-lea și achiziționat în anul 1936, anul deschiderii Muzeului Satului. Realizat din fibre de lână în culori vegetale, covorul conservă tehnicile de lucru tradiționale și motivele decorative specifice locului. Covoarele din Oltenia sunt extrem de rafinate din punct de vedere cromatic și decorativ, țesătoarele dovedind o capacitate creatoare deosebită și o stăpânire perfectă a celor mai variate tehnici de lucru. De altfel, prezența războiului de țesut în majoritatea caselor este dovada unei tradiții păstrate până în prezent, grație femeilor și fetelor care aveau și menirea de a înfrumuseța spațiul de locuit. Asemenea Olteniei, Moldova oferă piese spectaculoase, cu diferențieri cromatice și decorative în funcție de centrul de creație. Motiv predilect în Moldova, pomul vieții apare pe covoarele cu fond negru sau oliv de o mare valoare stilistică. Lucrate în ateliere, țesăturile din partea centrală a Moldovei – zonele Neamț și Iași – sunt reunite prin culoarea de fond și dispunerea alesăturilor în șiruri verticale. În contrast cu acestea, scoarțele din sudul Moldovei ilustrează un univers aparte în care sunt înfățișate motive antropomorfe sau zoomorfe din viața cotidiană. Din a doua jumătate a secolului al XIX-lea au fost realizate compoziții cu mai multă culoare și mișcare.
The exhibition is completed with clothing assemblies from the various areas of the country (Muntenia, Moldova, Oltenia, Transylvania). Associated with aprons, cats, vagines, pits or fish, female costumes have as its basic piece or shirt. The beauty, the variety, the working techniques and the authenticity of this piece of the popular port are just a few of the scientific arguments that were the basis for the registration of the element in the representative list of the immaterial cultural heritage.
The over 300 pieces present in the exhibitionRomania in memory of the world. UNESCO World HeritageIt represents both a sign of gratitude for the founders of the museum, for those who serve it, develop it and enrich it today, as well as a gift for those who will pass the threshold in these holidays.
