Exhibition and workshops

The exhibition and workshops are organized with the support of experts from the ”Dimitrie Gusti” National Village Museum in Bucharest. A symbol of the universe in the early days of humanity, the egg was the primordial element of biological regeneration. With the advent of Christianity, the ancient symbolism of red eggs was complemented with new meanings, bringing to the fore the miracle of the Resurrection of the Savior as a hope for the regeneration of life, for the good of humanity. Part of a common cultural heritage found throughout Central and Eastern Europe, the great richness and variety of creation existing in the art of egg painting and decoration in Romania is surprising from one ethnographic area to another and even from one village to another.
