ROM (a) NOR Interferences" is a cultural project implemented by the "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum in collaboration with Anno Museum from Norway, with the financial support of the EEA Grants 2014 - 2021 through the RO-Culture Programme.
The mission of the "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum is to research, collect, preserve and restore heritage goods belonging to Romanian culture and civilization and to use them as the main instrument of communication and education of the public, through the means characteristic of modern museology.
Through its exhibition of architecture and folk technique, and implicitly, through the specific inventory of ethnographic objects, the museum succeeds in presenting to the public the image of a village - synthesis of Romania, in its originality, representativeness, unity and diversity. At the same time, the respect and application of the principle of unity in diversity have allowed to capture ethnic differences and interferences between Romanian folk culture and that of other nationalities and ethnic groups in Romania.
The Norwegian Anno Museum, through its Glomdal Department, has the mission to collect and preserve elements belonging to the old cultures and to provide knowledge about the lives and customs of the people of the past. The museum foundation aims to support the field of minority culture and multicultural society, and the museum has a special responsibility for the culture and history of the Roma. Since 2000, the Glomdal Museum has taken national responsibility for documenting the culture and history of the Tater/Roma people, and has a major permanent exhibition dedicated to them.
