The Romanian Peasant\'s Museum, founded on 5 February 1990, is the expression of long-standing museum traditions dating since as early as 1875 when, following Titu Maiorescu\'s suggestions, the first textile art section was to be set up, as part of the National Antiquity Museum; it displayed "countryside handiwork such as clothing, carpets, woven fabric, cloth, a.s.o", of which many items are still preserved in the thesaurus-like collections of the Museum, as they are like messages across the time.
