Many people find shadows kind of scary, and they are a metaphor for the things that would bother you if you saw them regularly, or focused on them. Some also find the sun on their face to be rather pleasant, especially while sunbathing. But mostly our imagination creates scary images that are based on our bad days.

Regardless of what you choose to do, the ASTRA experience surprises with diversity, creativity and innovation, being folded to new needs and responding to challenges generated at an international level.
The collections of the ASTRA Museum contain a rich and varied range of carefully preserved and attractively presented ethnographic objects. We are the depository of over 400 buildings and over 200,000 objects.
The museum staff, specialized and well trained in the field of expertise, is oriented towards the needs of the public and ensures the quality of cultural products and services.
The Museum of Traditional Popular Civilization is the largest – in terms of territory, richer – in terms of heritage and more original – in the thematic conception, open-air museum in Romania and among the most representative institutions of this kind in Europe. Located immediately south of the city, on the connecting road between Sibiu and Rășinari, the museum contains creations of the traditional, pre-industrial Romanian folk civilization. The museum covers 96 hectares, it is crossed by 10 kilometers of alleys along which there are more than 400 buildings. Houses, workshops and building complexes are scattered among the trees and in the glades of Dumbrava Sibiului. Around an impressive lake, Dobrogen windmills and fishermen’s constructions from the Danube Delta are mirrored, and mills and floating bridges are exposed on the lake.
The entire natural landscape and exhibition space offer the visiting public various possibilities for spending free time and getting to know the tangible and intangible heritage. Through the variety of cultural services, the Open Air Museum is a particularly active and attractive living institution throughout the year, a real living museum, a tourist attraction of international value.
The open-air museum annually hosts a multitude of events and cultural actions that celebrate tradition and demonstrate the creativity and efficiency with which natural resources were harnessed and used in the peasant household, a true example of best practices for a circular economy, sustainability and green transition, as response to the new challenges facing today’s society.
