Traditional house with specific reed roof.
The interior of a traditional house where we can see the oven and the table where on holidays they used to eat.
Also inside the houses we can see the specific clothing of women of that time, a festive outfit.
The interiors of the houses are stunning in their simplicity.
A clay jug in which drinking water was usually kept.

How beautiful traditional clothes are.
They were made at ,,war".
The museum is the most powerful arsenal with which a people defends its origin, its identity and everything it has inherited from its ancestors.

Hello everyone,
I am very happy to be with you today and that's why I decided to share with you one of the places I love enormously.
Today we are going to the Banat Village Museum in western Romania, for me this kind of places is always a good reason to visit them, I have visited many similar places all over Romania, I love my country's history very much, especially when it comes to traditions, traditional costumes, customs from different parts of Romania, I am fascinated by them.
I've read a lot of reviews about the Banat Village Museum and a surprisingly high percentage tell me that this place deserves to be on my short list of the next places to visit.
That's what I did on a Sunday with my wife and I went to Timisoara, located about 65km from where I live to check if the place is really as the reviews showed it.
The museum is an open-air museum that is surrounded by an amazing forest, the address of the museum is Avram Imbroane Street 1, Timisoara, Romania, and the cost of the entrance ticket is* 10lei/2euro*.
This place reminds me of my childhood, when I used to visit my grandparents, there I found this kind of very old houses with a special reed or shingle roof, the walls of the house being made of earth and wheat straw, all with nature-friendly materials.
My grandparents even made their own clothes with some special machines of that time called "war", but this word has nothing to do with war using weapons and other techniques.
The ,,war,, was a machine that used wool as a raw material to create clothes and carpets.
They also made the carpets in their houses, they made their cushions, their bedspreads, to a very large extent they produced everything they needed to lead a normal life, I know it sounds a bit strange today, but in those times when the resources of the modern world did not exist.
Indeed the everyday life of the people of those days is something amazing and very interesting, because we of my generation did not get to live those times but only our parents or grandparents told us about them.
Unfortunately the mad rush into the modern world of the 21st century is causing us to lose the history, traditions and amazing energy of those times, to my surprise fewer and fewer people are making efforts to keep history alive.
If you liked the pictures and what I wrote here I invite you to visit this one or if somewhere in a corner of the world you have this kind of museums visit them and show them off.
