Romanian arts and crafts are part of our national culture and traditions, a source of pride for many of us.
Open the GalleryOur traditions and customs have a unique charm, telling the story of the Romanians over centuries, and some even millennia, with some customs dating back to the time of the Dacians and Romans.

Romanians have a long tradition of decorating houses with floral motifs, animal motifs, and generally any elements that were found in the areas where Romanian peasant communities lived.
Whether they painted the houses of boyars, Phanariot rulers, or even their own homes, Romanian peasants were talented craftsmen and artists who, through the simplicity of the painted forms, managed to transform any adobe hut into a rustic work of art.
Romanian folk art is appreciated internationally for the unique character it brings to world cultures.
