Short description

The exhibition from “Curtea Domneasca” Architectural Complex from Piatra Neamt was included in the exhibition circuit in 1986 and it hosts tri-dimensional materials and documents that “talk” about “Curtea Domneasca” Architectural Complex, a place that was documented first in 20 April 1491.

Located on a small plate in the center of the town Piatra Neamt, “Curtea Domneasca” Architectural Complex was built by Stefan The Great around 1468 – 1475. This is a small part of an architectural complex which is formed by the Bell-Tower (1499) and the Church of “St Ioan Botezatorul” (1498). What we can see today is just a small portion of the cellars and some inner walls.

The permanent exhibition from the museum hosts tri-dimensional archeological objects and documents discovered in the area of “Curtea Domneasca” Architectural Complex or in other points from Piatra Neamt.

Founded in 1980, the Ethnography Museum hosts an impressive collection of ethnographic objects and traditional art from the Neamt area which illustrates the occupations, customs and clothing but also traditional wood architecture.

The first ethnographic collection of the museum is from 1960 and it is composed from approximately 1,000 pieces. Today, the main collection of the museum offers elements of the traditional house of the Romanian peasant from the Bistrita Valley, the folk costume from this area and also the main handicrafts (weaving, woodworking) from the sub-Carpathian region of Moldavia – Romania.

Due to the mountain relief true architecture of wood was found in the construction used on Bistrita Valley, the area from Roman, or Humulesti Bargauani. In the museum, we can admire objects of massive furniture (the bed, the table), rich fabrics of wool, the case of dowry, the folk suit of the Romanian.

The main occupations of the people of this area have been breeding, agriculture and wood processing. By the end of XIX century the main means of transport for wood products and the people on the Bistrita Valley was the raft – here was recorded the largest and most organized development of this kind of transport from the entire country.

Short description

In the year 1960, the first art collection was founded in the Archeology Museum Neamt. Only in 1980 this collection becomes the Art Museum from Piatra Neamt and it becomes a separated institution. The building in which the museum is located was built in 1930 by Italians Carol Zani and Vicenzo Puschiasis. Here we can see an exhibit of ethnographic art and traditional art (textile, ceramics, furniture) which illustrates the habits and the clothing from this area.

The museum represents a panoramic vision of the evolution of art (painting, graphics, sculpture, tapestry) made by Romanian artists at the end of the XX century. In works of sculptors Ion Irimescu and Ion Jalea, painters like Gh Petrascu, Fr Sirato, N Tonitza, Corneliu Baba we can see the period between the two world wars – a period marked by the incidence of the European currents evolved in the XX century.

Photos from The Art Museum from Piatra Neamt

Among the special objects exhibit here we can list the creations from the Tapestry Room that belong to Aurelia Vasiliu Gheata, born in Piatra Neamt in 1896. These tapestries are created by using a traditional technique, inspired by the traditional art and the medieval mural painting.

Also, we can see paintings from the painters: Ion Sălişteanu, Iulia Hălăucescu, Dan Hatmanu, Eugen Crăciun, Simona Vasiliu Chintilă, Spiru Chintilă, Ion Gheorghiu, Corneliu Vasilescu, Ilie Boca and sculptures made by: Iulia Oniţă, Nicolae Fleissig, Ovidiu Maitec and Clement Pompiliu. All these works of art talk about the Romanian art, with its different orientations and original plastic visions.

Short description

The Museum for eneolitic art Cucuteni was inaugurated in the summer of 2005 and it’s the first museum for the Cucuteni art in Romania. This museum runs in the section B of the History and Archeology Museum from Piatra Neamt and it displays over 300 pieces from the Cucuteni and Pre-cucuteni cultures – these objects are included in the category of “thesaurus object” for the national heritage. The Cucuteni culture is the last great culture with painted ceramics from Europe. The characteristic element of the Cucuteni Culture is the ceramics painted in three colors: white, red and black – this is the proof of an extraordinary sense for the color.

Short description:

The Memorial Museum was arranged in the year 1969 in the house where the writer Calistrat Hogas (1847-1917) lived. The house has a very interesting architectural style, was built in 1885 and it’s enrolled on the list of architectural monuments of The National Cultural Heritage. The museum was restored and rebuild two times, between 1967-1969 and 1992-1994, each time the conservation of the initial structure being preserved.

The permanent exhibition has family documents, manuscripts, the original furniture and personal objects that belonged to the writer. After the death of Calistrat Hogas, his wife and daughters continued to live in this house. In the year 1939 in a room of the house they open a small museum. Only in 1969 the entire house becomes a museum after the government buys the entire collection from the family.

Starting with the year 1994, after the last work of restoration, the house has a certain atmosphere that resembles more to the period of time in which the writer lived. The organization of the museum was made by following the instruction of lady Sidonia, the daughter of the writer.
