Abstract
In this article, the author presents information related to the ethnography collection within the “Paul Ţarălungă” Museum Complex from the village of Prăjeşti, Bacău county. The Museum Complex in the village of Prăjeşti was established in 1971 through the efforts of Paul Ţarălungă, who was a special man, a valued and respected teacher. He was the right man in the right place. Through hard work, without restraint, he managed to establish one of the richest and most valuable village museums in the country and a Botanical Garden, unique in Bacău county and among the few existing in the country. The current “Paul Ţarălungă” Museum Complex in the village of Prăjeşti, Bacău county, includes exhibits of ethnography, archaeology, numismatics, zoology, paleontology, botany, geology, grouped thematically in a specially designed building, next to a botanical garden. In the museum building, the exhibits are arranged in eight rooms, of which three are dedicated to popular cultural heritage values. The ethnographic collection exhibited in the three exhibition halls includes valuable objects (folk costumes; household items; traditional agricultural tools), coming mainly from the geographical area of the local rural space.
