“We invite culture and tradition enthusiasts to discover the fascinating universe of Romanian shirts and traditional costumes and make a foray into the Transylvanian world of the first half of the 20th century, admiring the watercolors and photographs from the ASTRA Museum's Documentary Archive,” the Embassy said in a post on social media.
