In September 2012, in the mountain resort Rânca a new small museum was inaugurated under the auspices of the County Center for Preservation and Promotion of Traditional Culture ( CJCPCT ) Gorj and support of local congregation. Located 200 meters from the entrance to the resort Rânca, in the community house of "Deer" Congregation, a new wooden construction with several rooms, it is designed as a living museum, meaning that in addition to the actual museum that keeps the history and pastoral traditions of Gorj area, one room will be used for the production of all dairy products. Rânca is a developing resort, initiated in 1930, but which has not yet the status of a com...ponent locality of municipality Novaci of commune Baia de Fier. It is located 18 km from Novaci, on the road Transalpina (DN67C), at 1600 m altitude, at the foot of the pick Păpuşa of the mountain massif Parâng. Opening a museum is a step to gain official status of mountain resort for Rânca.
