On June 19, 2025, our museum hosted a press conference marking the launch of the project \u201cProtection and Restoration of Built Heritage within the Gole\u0219ti Museum of Viticulture and Pomology\u201d. The initiative is financed through non-reimbursable funds provided by the National Heritage Institute via the Heritage Stamp program and co-financed by the Arge\u0219 County Council.<\/p>\n
As part of this project, the roofs of 53 traditional monuments and auxiliary buildings from the museum\u2019s heritage will be restored. These include the building housing the History Section within the Feudal Ensemble, the Free Public School, traditional houses from Maramure\u0219 and Banat, the Church in the Open-Air Section, as well as the rehabilitation of 450 linear meters of surrounding fences.<\/p>\n
With a total value of approximately 4.5 million lei, the project plays a vital role in both the preservation of the museum\u2019s valuable architectural heritage and the development of the tourism infrastructure in Arge\u0219 County.<\/p>\n
During the press conference, Mr. Adrian Dumitru Bughiu, Vice President of the Arge\u0219 County Council, emphasized that cultural investments\u2014regardless of their funding source, whether through the Heritage Stamp, the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the Anghel Saligny Program, or others\u2014are always welcome and complement the major infrastructure projects currently underway in Arge\u0219 County. \u201cBeyond the recognition it receives from the public and specialists alike, the Gole\u0219ti Museum also enjoys the full support of the County Council leadership. This is due not only to its historical significance but also to its cultural potential\u2014and, to be frank, to its capacity for generating own-source revenue. After all, every cultural activity also has an economic dimension. We are here to motivate ourselves and to mobilize everyone so that the success of this project rests entirely in our hands,\u201d stated Vice President Bughiu.<\/p>\n
In turn, Mr. Iustin Dejanu, Manager of the Gole\u0219ti Museum, added: \u201cThis is a very important project for us\u2014Protection and Restoration of Built Heritage within the Gole\u0219ti Museum of Viticulture and Pomology. It involves restoring 53 structures in the open-air section of the museum, primarily traditional buildings. We are mainly focusing on roofs, but also on fencing. Among the buildings whose roofs will be restored are the House from Banat, the Church from Dr\u0103gu\u021be\u0219ti, the Crossroads Inn\u2014a unique piece in the Romanian museum landscape\u2014the History Section (last restored in 2011 following a fire), and the Free Public School.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Dejanu also pointed out the significance of the project, the potential challenges\u2014such as sourcing appropriate straw materials for the roofs of houses from Alba County\u2014but especially the prompt and decisive support from the Arge\u0219 County Council, which approved the project quickly and provided 10% co-financing.<\/p>\n
