The building of the museum was reconstructed between 1971 and 1974, on the ruins of an earlier manor documented in 1794. The themes of the permanent exhibition illustrate the fundamental trades (agriculture and animal breeding), the secondary ones (viticulture, sericulture, fishing, hunting) and the domestic occupations (food preparing, textiles processing, and clothing manufacturing), as well as the traditional folk craftsmanship (pottery art, wood processing, stone cutting). The exhibition includes a room where the interior of a "big house" ("the clean house") is reconstructed (from the Bisoca area) and two halls displaying folk costumes, both structurally (cuts, orna...ments, according to categories) and the male and female costumes specific of the Buzău ethnographic area.
