This museum is located in the school building from the village Telec. The collection was put together by professor Barna Augustin Marcian and his wife Elena Barna. The objects represent an image of the customs and traditions from the Bicaz valley.

Among the objects exposed in the museum we can see textile designated for interior decoration, folk costumes and different objects used by locals to perform different tasks around the house. We can also see traditional masks used in winter traditions: the most common costume is “the goat”. This costume is made from a carpet with different ornaments placed on top of it: small mirrors, braids and long strings of beads.

You can also see some of the basic forms of a traditional house from a mountain-village and a sheepfold formed by two rooms: one is where the cheese was made and another one is where the cauldron with mamamliga was. All the objects presented here, in this museum, represent the heritage of customs and traditions from this area that we have the obligation to at least remember it.

Short description

The art museum “Iulia Halaucescu” was first opened in November 2003 in the village Tarcau, in the building where was once was the old school. The place was rebuilt almost entirely with the support of the local authorities and some art lovers. The permanent exhibition covers 100 square meters.

The museum is formed by six rooms that host 120 art works and personal belongings of Iulia Halaucescu. All that can be seen in the museum was donated by the painter to her birth village Tarcau.

The museum manages to reconstruct some aspects from the life of the artist and to also light a glimpse of the past. The atmosphere of the house in which Iulia Halaucescu lived is brought to life by pieces of furniture and ornamental objects.

Short description

The History and Ethnography museum from Bicaz was founded in 1958 as a result of the complex research studies made by the Romanian Academy in the area of Lake Dimitrie Leonida. Since 1966 the museum is located in the building of the ex village-theatre named Ion Kalinderu. The building was made at the beginning of the XX century and it’s a part of the national list of architectural monuments. The permanent exhibition of the museum is organized on three main spaces which illustrates the history of the Bistrita Valley and also the 102 paintings donated to the city of Bicaz by painter Iulia Halaucescu.

The first space is for the history of Bistrita Valley – here we can see Paleolithic communities and also elements of the life of our ancestors, Dacii. Here we can also see documents and papers that belonged to the architect of the Dam from Bicaz. The second space is about the evolution of human communities in the Bistrita Valley and the ethnographic element present here: traditional furniture, weavings, etc. The third space is dedicated to the plastic art objects.
