Summary/Abstract: The article investigates several examples of instruments used in Romania, since the fall of Communism, for heritage education and/or studies, in an attempt to highlight how local and national cultural heritage has been made known to the general public and what achievements and challenges occurred during this process. With the help of four different case-studies, we look at how the methods of presenting cultural heritage have evolved over the years. Today there is a variety of available printed or digital resources for heritage education and their number, as well as their quality, is constantly increasing. The importance of heritage preservation equally gains weight in the Romanians’ mind. However, a lot of work still remains to be done, one of the biggest challenges being to put together the expertise of different specialists (architects, historians, geographers, ethnographers, etc.) for a proper valorisation of the local, regional, and national heritage.
