The National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History invites you to the traditional mask making workshop. The event will take place on December 6, 2018 at 13.00. The workshop will be attended by local artisans as well.
For making these masks, sheep or goat skin, alder wood and horns are usually used. In the Romanian folk tradition, masks are related to winter holidays. Boys of the village play dances specific to the area, and the viewers are the village inhabitants.
We welcome all those interested in knowing the meaning of masks in the winter customs, as well as the techniques used by participating masters.
