A museum room with a reconstructed traditional house interior: on the left, an old wooden window with flaking paint set on a plinth; in the centre, a man in a white shirt points towards the exhibits; in the background, a wooden weaving loom, an embroidered shirt, an old rug on the parquet floor and a carved crucifix on the wall.

Ungheni has 18 residential buildings left from before 1919. From a house demolished in Dănuțeni, the museum saved the carved window

A museum curator happened to walk past a house being demolished in the Dănuțeni district and called his colleagues to pull out of the rubble whatever could still be saved: a solid wood window carved on three registers, a gable with a solar rosette. The pieces are now on display at the Museum of History and Ethnography. The house was not a listed monument — nor could it have been: in the state register, the Ungheni district's list occupies positions 1573 to 1720, and not one dwelling house appears in it. The 2024 census shows how much is left of the town's old layer: 18 residential buildings erected before 1919, out of nearly 5,000.

In Florițoaia Veche, villagers mud-plastered the wall of the „La Prispa lui Vasile” museum — a clacă like their grandparents'

On 13 June, in the yard of the „La Prispa lui Vasile” house-museum in Florițoaia Veche, villagers mixed clay with straw and plastered the wall of a museum annex the old way. A clacă — the communal, voluntary work-bee of the past — organised by the Ungheni Culture Section, the „Țărăncuța” folk ensemble and the local town hall. In a district that has shrunk by almost a quarter in a decade, a village museum keeping tradition alive carries particular weight.
