Located in an emblematic building of the city, the Municipal Palace, the Folk Art Museum surprises with its multitude of traditional handmade exhibits.

The museum is housed in a building of great significance for the history of the city. The building was built in 1893 and served for a period of time as the headquarters of the City Hall, being called the Municipal Palace. Over time, the building had other uses, but since 1975 it has housed the Popular Art Museum, a leading cultural institution of Constanta.

The idea of creating an ethnography museum by the sea was born in the early 60s from the efforts of several similar institutions in the country: the Brukental Museum in Sibiu, the Folk Art Museum and the Village Museum in Bucharest. At its origins, the museum was conceived as an exponent of Dobrogean ethnography, so that in 1975 the first exhibition was organized that offered a cohesive vision of life in the traditional Dobrogean village.

Floral, vegetal, zoomorphic, anthropomorphic motifs, alternating with stripes of different widths, create specific ornamental compositions. Woolen fabrics for decoration or household use have an ornamental composition based on the alternation of rows, with chosen geometric motifs, distributed evenly and continuously.
