Hello, My name is Mark Tudose and few years ago I have start "Art & Crafts" in Sighisoara. At first I have made a local artist gallery with handmade products around Sighisoara. I do the wood part in the gallery. In time we developed more opening a museum section for our gallery with pieces made of wood about 50 years ago. This year is for the first time when we will open this museum part for our customers. So, feel free to visit us and let me know your opinion. I really think that the only way for a craft it comes with the story behind. I hope you will like our stories.

We visited this unique romanian museum on saturday when the majority of the attractions in Arad are closed. Spent 1 hr being fascinated about all the computers and laptops from 10, 20 30 and 40 years ago (neither large IT universities in Romania could bot gather such a nice collection). Got some very nice souvenirs: calendars and mini IT boards as key chains. The person founding the museum from his personal money is definitely a passionate IT fan and he wants to further developp the museum. The bookings for visit (free entrance) can be prior made through phone or facebook page very easy.

Words are not enough to describe this place. Pure emotion, or the saddest museum seen in Romania so far and yet a stark reminder of what hate could bring and why such horrible past must never repeat. A must for anyone willing to understand better that dark period. Very well organized and run.
