I was fortunate to visit this open air museum with my wonderful Romanian guide; he gave me a lot of background about the types of architecture that we were going to visit in different sections of Romania. This was invaluable since I was readily able to recognize them later, especially the powerful, decorative gates of the Maramures region. I am... More
