'Mapamond' charity exhibition opening at Romanian Peasant museum on Friday
The 'Mapamond' fine art exhibition, organised for charitable purposes in support of the Romanian Red Cross Society, will be opened on Friday at the New Gallery Hall of the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant.
According to a press release sent to AGERPRES, the exhibition includes a captivating collection of works celebrating the beauty and diversity of traditional costumes from around the world. It offers visitors the opportunity to explore and understand the cultural and historical wealth behind each national costume, shedding light on the stories and traditions that have shaped them over the centuries.
'The 'Mapamond' exhibition aims to take visitors on a visual journey through the world of traditional costumes, presenting works of visual art that illustrate costumes from countries such as Japan, India, Romania, Mexico and many others. Each section of the exhibition is dedicated to a specific region, allowing visitors to compare and contrast the various styles and cultural influences,' the release reads.
The exhibition will showcase national costumes from Japan - the Kimono, with its delicate weaving and elaborate embroidery, symbolising the elegance and refinement of Japanese culture; India - the Sari, a symbol of femininity and tradition, presented through vibrant colours and intricate patterns; Romania - the Romanian folk costume, with its folklore motifs and handmade embroidery, reflecting the spirit and history of the Romanian people; Mexico - the Huipil, with its colourful design and profound cultural significance, exemplifying the rich heritage of pre-Columbian civilisations.
The 'Mapamond' exhibition not only highlights the aesthetic beauty of the costumes but also emphasises their historical and social importance. Through this exhibition, visitors will be able to appreciate each national costume's contribution to the global cultural mosaic, says MNTR.
This exhibition is aimed at art and culture enthusiasts, as well as educators, curators and students who wish to deepen their understanding of traditional costume diversity, the quoted source mentions.
The exhibition, organised by the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant in collaboration with the Social Team Association and the Art Archive Gallery, can be visited at the New Gallery Hall from March 28 to April 6, Wednesday to Sunday, between 10:00 and 18:00.
