We will begin, in the year 2024, with a series of traditional events in our museum’s agenda, dedicated to the National Culture Day and the Union of the Romanian Principalities.
In anticipation of National Culture Day, on Saturday, January 13, 2024, at 10:00 AM, we pay tribute to Ana Davila (born Racoviță), the granddaughter of Dinicu Golescu, during the Argeș-Mușcel Gathering. The new and beautiful collaboration between the gathering and the museum aims to revitalize the art of sewing and weaving, raise awareness about the beauty and uniqueness of traditional textiles, and create a community interested in promoting these activities. Ana Davila, along with her husband, Dr. Carol Davila, were among the first promoters of the Romanian traditional costume. The event will take place in the History Section of the Golești Museum.
