National Museum of Decorated Eggs

Ciocănești turned decorated eggs into a visual language for the village, and its museum gathers motifs, colours, and stories best read up close. Pair it with a walk among the village’s decorated houses.

Ask whether demonstrations or workshops are available on the day. Seasonal events can be more rewarding than a quick stop between two landmarks.

Ciocănești egg decoration uses motifs inspired by clothing, nature, and the geometry of houses. The tradition helped shape the village-museum identity, where ornament continues beyond the display cases.
