The Popa Museum, Northeast Romania, Romania
4.5 (13 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Neamt County Speciality Museums
5 in 1
The initial collection belonged to the late Mr Popa and was focused on local art and local history. Many objects used by villagers but also archeological findings. Add to that the stone sculpture plus the modern pottery being created there. And the place itself is a museum of old buildings with old furniture collections. A Must see

Something a little different
This proved to be an interesting stop on our road trip around Romania. Situated in the small village of Tarpesti, 10km south east of Targu Neamt, the museum houses the collective personal works of Neculai Popa, a folk artist who died in 2010. It is now run by his family and other artists in residence. The collection is eclectic and includes this own artistic work including carvings, sculptures, face masks and costumes plus much stuff collected by Popa himself during his life, including paintings by other Romanian artists, unusual icons and Old Moldovian handicrafts such as thick leather belts and painted trousseaux. There is an English written guide available if you visit (their son who would take you round was away at the time of our visit) and a shop selling good handicrafts of other artists in residence. Worth supporting. Entrance 10 leu per person.
