Stone pieces, many of household utility, but also having aesthetic value, craftsman putting his soul on his rock carving. It ss the most comprehensive collection of peasant stone art. The creator of this collection, the poet Lucian Avramescu, opened it to the public (entrance is free), aiming to demonstrate that the country that gave sculptors Brancusi and George Apostu has a civilization of stone, less known, not just a civilization of wood.
