Muzeul Etnografic Vișinelu – o încercare reușită de reconstituire a trecutului
Ethnographic Museum Vișinelu – a successful reconstitution attempt of the past

Summary/Abstract: Vișinelu village (Mureș County) has emerged from anonymity, leaving its future generations a well organised and inventoried cultural heritage, an authentic testimony to the rural Romanian way of life.All aspects of rural life, from childbirth to death and all the events and activities in-between, are deeply rooted in the collective memory and must be safeguarded.Thus, the creation of a local museum that reunites objects that marked different social events and that aided the local community in their day to day life, is most welcomed. Setting up a local museum is no easy task. It requires the collective effort of heritage specialists.This initiative is proof that the cultural heritage is still very much alive in many villages. It must be seen as an impulse for ethnology specialists to conduct researches in rural communities, to inventory the existing heritage and to showcase it for future generations.
