The residence of the Museum of Ethnography and Folk Art (the former residence of the National Bank of Romania - Tulcea Agency) is one of the public buildings emblematic for Tulcea, constituting, together with other buildings, valuable samples of the national shapes architecture.
The construction is based on a project elaborated in 1924 and it was elevated in the interwar period (1924 - 1927), at the end of the national trend in Romanian architecture.
The house has a composition whose equilibrium is given both by the positioning in a cross point and the initial function.
This public building can be considered a successful sample of the modern architecture, based on the traditional architecture’s values, which put a mark on the first part of the 20th century.
The museum patrimony reflects, through the diversity of its collections, a unique cultural model which has been generated by the ethnical living together of Romanians with the other populations.
The approximately 8000 pieces compose an invaluable ethnographic fund “readable” in the frame of the folk art, folk costume, ethnography and photo-documents collections.
