Măriuș Open-Air Museum

The open-air museum in Măriuş presents visitors with two traditional houses and the annexes specific to some households in Țara Codrului. All buildings have been reassembled and restored since 2012. The first house, the one to be visited, was moved from a household in the village of Pomi, being dated at the end of the 19th century. It was purchased from the Petric family in 1992 and was originally covered with reeds and rye husks. In addition to the two houses, in the yard there is also a chicken coop, but also a barn.

The house at the Măriuş Open-Air Museum has an architecture specific to the ethnographic area of Țara Codrului. It was built of oak wood, the floor was made of clay, and the roof was made in four bays. Also, the house consists of three rooms: the “clean” room, the living room, the tent and the porch. The latter is supported by five pillars carved with circular elements. In the “clean” room, an inscription-testimony can be observed on the beam: Acest edificiu sau edificatu in anul 1864 a lui Fazsi Ioanu Maistriul au fostu Georgiu Micloșiu.
