About

The Museum and Monumental Complex "Dr. Vasile Lucaciu" evokes one of the historical figures who had a considerable contribution to the achievement of the Great Union. He was also a signatory of the Memorandum demanding that Romanians in Transylvania be given equal rights to ethnic Hungarians. Born in 1852 in Apa locality, Satu Mare County, Vasile Lucaciu dedicated his youth to his studies, later becoming a priest and a teacher. After resigning from education, starting with the summer of 1885, he held the position of parish priest in Șișești, becoming more active on the political scene. In the next three decades Vasile Lucaciu distinguished himself as a prominent political figure, militant for the union of Transylvania with Romania and a great supporter of the interests of all Romanians. After an illustrious career, he passed away in 1922, being buried in Șișești on December 1st, four years after the Great Union. The museum complex inaugurated in 1968, dedicated to the "Lion of Șișești", now includes the following: the parish house, which served for three decades as a residence for the Lucaciu family, the school where he taught, the Church of the Holy Union of All Romanians with VasileLucaciu's tomb, the Gathering place, the Spring of the Mother of the Romanians from Șișești, the stone columns for the statues of Trajan and Decebalus, the altar of the old wooden church and the library of the Lucaciu family. In the valuable library, which contains approximately 15,000 volumes, there are documents that describe the activity and personality of Vasile Lucaciu. Also, the patrimony of the museum complex also includes photographs, documents and original pieces of furniture, from the years when this spokesman of the Great Union fought tirelessly for the welfare of Romanians.

Muzeul Abandonului

Căminul-spital pentru minori irecuperabili de la Sighetul Marmației a fost înființat în 1973 și închis în 2003. Clădirea a fost proiectată special pentru a găzdui și îngriji 200 de copii, considerați de către statul român irecuperabili (deși unii dintre ei erau perfect sănătoși).  În cei 30 de ani de funcționare, 738 de copii au fost închiși în spatele gratiilor din respectiva clădire, 279 din ei murind aici și fiind înhumați în Cimitirul Săracilor ori lângă Groapa de Gunoi a municipiului. Dintre supraviețuitori, puțini pot depune mărturie, dar câțiva au reușit să fie intervievați, declarațiile lor fiind disponibile pe platformele sociale asociate muzeului (paginile de Facebook și Instagram). Unul dintre primele muzee interactive virtuale din țară, aflat încă în lucru, Muzeul Abandonului este un proiect unic în spațiul românesc, care vizează cartografierea culturii abandonului în România și dorește să ofere spațiu de exprimare celor a căror traumă colectivă nu a fost niciodată cu adevărat recunoscută și discutată public: sutele de mii de copii abandonați atât în anii comunismului, cât și în istoria recentă a țării noastre (cunoscuți sub numele de ”orfani”). Acest muzeu, virtual se adaugă celorlalte două complexe muzeale majore, existente fizic în Sighetu Marmației: Memorialul Victimelor Comunismului, respectiv, Muzeul Maramureșean, unde sunt înregistrate și expuse mărturii despre alte două tragedii imense care au lovit în cursul secolului XX: dictatura comunistă și Holocaustul împotriva evreilor.   *Text: Teofil Ivanciuc

The Habra Monastery

Habra Monastery is located on the border of Groşi township and is dedicated to the "Resurrection of the Lord". Documented for the first time in 1604, the monastery closed its doors a decade later due to the support that the Romanian clergy gave to the ruler Michael the Brave (Mihai Viteazul). After centuries of believers perpetuating the legends born around the monastery, in 1990 the custom of Easter pilgrimage was resumed on the site of the former settlement, and then it was decided to rebuild the monastery. The architecture of the edifice was inspired by the model of Cozia Monastery, but with more modest dimensions.
