A PEOPLE'S LEGACY
Romanian Folk Life through Dress, Textiles and Arts
March 15 through November 15, 2006
Despite a century of political turmoil, the beauty and spirit of Romanian folk art has survived. Today over ninety areas of distinct folk cultures exist — a blend of native expression and influence from a diverse group of people including Romans, Saxons, Turks, Armenians, Bulgarians, Hungarians and Ukrainians. This exhibition features colorful traditional costumes and folk art from the Museum's comprehensive permanent collection and is complemented by objects from the Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington in Seattle; Kent State University Museum in Kent, Ohio; Duquesne University Tamburitzans, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Yakima Valley Museum in Yakima, Washington; The Fort Dalles Museum in The Dalles, Oregon; and Frances Connolly of The Dalles.
