The city of Constanta, a touristic city, offers its Romanian or foreign visitors, through the Folk Art Museum, an overview of the spirituality of the Romanian people, as a place of synthesis of popular artistic creation.

The ethnographic museum, through its structures, shows the unity of the folk culture from Dobruja with the culture from the other Romanian regions. This unity is given by the fact that these regions share the same origins and by the fact that throughout the time they have kept in touch, by means of time and space, with Romanians from all the ethnographic regions of the country.

The museum's collections were built through patrimony acquisitions, made systematically, following a well-structured plan in terms of documentation, art and region. Currently these collections gather a patrimony of national heritage which has more than 16, 000 pieces.
The basic permanent exhibition of the museum is organised following the genres of folk creation (ceramics, wood, metal, textiles, rugs, folk costumes, finery, wooden and glass icons etc.) and the differences of each one of them in all ethnographic regions, taking notice of various scientific criteria for the documentation, art and uniqueness.
