In 1935 the Founding Committee of the County Ethnography and Folk Art Museum was set up, and in 1936 the museum was inaugurated. In 1970 the exhibition theme focused on wood handicraft civilization. The museum is hosted in an architectural monument building (constructed in 1900) and which had also been used as the County’s Prefecture. It includes interior objects made of wood (furniture, tools and utensils for occupations and handicrafts), technical (manual and mechanical) equipment: oil presses, grape and other fruit hand press, hammer for baize, manual and water mills, cup wheels which transmit the force of water for gold stamp, as well as other complex installations. The yard of the museum hosts a permanent exhibition – small open-air section highlighting the houses, gates and household ancillary buildings made of wood, specific to the area.
