They say that you can't build your future if you don't know your past. How can you know your past? I think of a child who knows nothing about the past and has to learn.
In the first stage, the child learns from his parents, then from school, and when he grows up, he is able to look for sources himself. Museums are very good sources, where you can even find physical evidence about the past.
We visited a special museum where you can really see what life was like in the past. Country life, how your parents, or grandparents, or great-grandparents lived. A museum of the village, and when it's set in a forest, in a natural setting as close to reality as possible, it's called Astra Museum in Sibiu, Romania. It is the largest open-air museum in Europe.
In addition to thousands of old exhibits, collected from peasant households, I also saw some living exhibits that were a permanent presence in the villages years ago.
A free young calf
I grew up in the country, and the presence of domestic animals, such as horses, cows, sheep, and pigs, was normal. Unfortunately, many children today have never seen a domestic animal up close.
So great was my surprise when we met at the museum with a cow and a calf, in skin, flesh, and bones, that is to say alive!
The calf, like any teenager, was full of curiosity and approached us, probably expecting something sweet...
We weren't prepared with sweets and we were no longer interesting for the calf that started to look elsewhere, that is to say, near the bench that we had left a short time before.
A calf free and independent from his mother, Mrs. Cow.
Astra Museum, this mix of history, architecture, forest, and park, is a wonderful place, especially if the weather is nice, it's a place you leave with great regret.
Now in the villages of the country, you can no longer see this kind of images, with free domestic animals on the road. I am so glad that this museum reminded me of my childhood and the rural society of decades ago in which I grew up.
The Astra Museum in Sibiu is the largest and most well-made ethnographic museum in Romania with houses, machinery, and tools used by peasants at the beginning of the last century.
I saw machines made of wood which amazed me.
I wonder if you can guess what this wooden tool found in this river is for.
I don't think you guessed, or, who knows?
I am trying to prolong curiosity and will reveal the correct answer in the comments of those interested.
I rely mostly on photos in all my blogs. Words don't help me as much as photos.
I always start with photos when I want to write a blog. Photos remind me of places, events, and feelings that then turn into words. When I post in Photography Lovers the words have even less importance, they are a companion to the photos I want to show. This often makes the story uninteresting or common, yet it is necessary; otherwise, the photos would merely be a series of unexciting images.
I make this statement as a plea to those reading not to over-judge the text and to focus on the photos. The story puts everything in context and provides the explanations and clarifications necessary for the blog to convey something of interest to the reader.
Since we all love photography, let’s explore the captivating details captured in these photos.!
A wise saying goes that a photograph is worth a thousand words, but I don't think so.
It depends on the viewer.
This is my favorite kind of a museum. I love those traditional houses, and the architecture resembles the ones that we have in Slovakia too. And those cows roaming freely around the area are soooo cute! 😍
Then it would be best if you went to Sibiu. I'm sure you'll like it. The Astra Museum is far beyond my power to show.
People who learn from mistakes in their life are the only people who can make their future good, they know that everything we can achieve only after working hard.
Agree with you!
Thanks alot.
Today I was more fascinated by the pictures, I love the animals mixed with the green and those spaces where man has not done much... everything more natural, how beautiful the last picture! Yes, to build the future it is necessary to know the past, to ask and to search...😃
Speaking of the last photo, I see that no one has said they guessed what it represents nor has anyone asked what it represents. I'll answer now, unasked.
It's a peasant washing machine. You put the laundry in that tub and the running water mixes and cleans it.
Interesting and old, it is also quite well preserved. Thank you very much!
With pleasure!
Seems it wanted something to eat from you :)
Certainly.
