About us

The Muzee de la sat platform [in translation Rural Museums] brings together museums, collections, and cultural sites from rural Romania, bringing them closer to the public through digitization and online promotion. The projects, co-financed by the Administration of the National Cultural Fund (AFCN), have played an essential role in increasing the visibility and appreciation of rural cultural heritage.

Launched on December 1, 2021, the platform now includes 105 virtual tours created for 92 museums in 89 villages from Moldova, Muntenia, Dobrogea, Maramureș and, in 2025, Oltenia and Banat.

Each cultural site is presented through an interactive 3D virtual tour, also available on Google Street View, Google Maps, and Google Earth, complemented by photographs, documented texts, and videos. The project has followed a gradual and regional development path: Moldova (2021), Muntenia (2022), Dobrogea (2023), Maramureș (2024), Oltenia and Banat (2025). So far, museums and collections from 29 counties have been documented, based on direct field research, which gives substance to the digital materials available online.

One of the major goals of the platform is to spark the interest of virtual visitors and turn them into real visitors who actively support local culture and get involved in protecting and promoting cultural heritage. Thus, Muzee de la sat aims not only to provide access to a rich cultural treasure but also to encourage physical visits and the support of rural museums.

The platform www.muzeedelasat.ro is free and available in both Romanian and English.

The motto that expresses the mission of the project is: “We digitally preserve cultural heritage and pass it on to future generations.”

Looking ahead, the project “The Museum – from the village street to the screen” aims to expand nationally, to create a complete overview of museums and collections in Romania’s rural areas and to give them the visibility they deserve.

The project is carried out by Real Tour Ro and co-financed by AFCN.
