Vampires and Werewolves

Ancient traditions and customs, nights with a full moon, fantastic creatures of the dark, creepy legends – all these make up the ingredients of a first exhibition dedicated to the imaginary bestiary in Romanian culture. Although it has captured the entire Western world, Halloween, with its practices and customs, also finds echoes in the impressive Romanian folklore, where legends and popular beliefs abound with scary creatures and characters. The experience offered by the “Vampires and Werewolves” exhibition represents an immersion in the Romanian imaginary, sometimes through the reinterpretation or integration of elements established as pop culture. The Vampires and Werewolves exhibition focuses – as the name suggests – on some of the most captivating figures of the fantastic Romanian macabre.
